London, Aug 7: A fur-lined coat, which martial arts film star Bruce Lee owned and wore shortly before his death, has fetched 77,000 Us dollars at an auction in Hong Kong.
A Us couple paid almost nine times the expected price to grab the coat that Lee wore in 1973 for the filming of 'Game of Death' - which remained unfinished as Lee died later that year at the age of 32.
Silvana and Greg Manning, the Us couple who won the auction, said it was "a unique item and a memorabilia for an iconic figure".
"Bruce Lee is worldwide recognised as one of the most important people in the martial arts field,".
