The restored Pullman carriages , Sapphire , Rosalind and Padua , are on offer at a reserve price of £15,000 each on the website eBay.

The carriages , dating back to the early 1900s , are currently used as a restaurant and reception at the Pullman Lodge Hotel on the Sunderland seafront.

A spokesman for the hotel said they did not fit into expansion plans.

The carriages have featured in several films , including Agatha staring Dustin Hoffman and Wagner in which Richard Burton played the lead.

All three were restored in 1989 , preserving their traditional features.

The auction closes on 23 August 2007.
