The lavish, one-of-a-kind trailer the late Elizabeth Taylor used on the set of 1963 movie classic Cleopatra is to be auctioned off over the weekend.

Taylor's Cleopatra trailer set for sale

The 36-foot home from home, which features hand-painted murals on the walls, a working a phone in the bathroom, full bar and intricate handmade decor, cost Twentieth Century Fox executives $75,000 50 years ago.

That's an estimated $560,000 today.

But before a new owner can get his or her hands on the trailer, following the Hollywood Extravaganza 6 sale in Los Angeles, it will be used by Lindsay Lohan - who is playing Taylor in new biopic Liz & Dick.

The trailer was reportedly gifted to a Fox studio boss when Cleopatra wrapped as a token gesture for investing in the film.
