| John Lennon's 330GT Ferrari |
According to Bonhams, the first car of the Beatles legend John Lennon will be sold on Friday 12th July, at '65 Ferrari 330GT 2+2 Coupé.
the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Chichester, UK. The car we talk about is an Azzuro Blue
In February 1965 The Beatles recorded Ticket to Ride – a song that would become one of their biggest hits, topping both the UK and US singles charts. By happy coincidence, that same month, the news that Lennon had passed his driving test made headlines across the country. Within hours, the road outside the security gates of his Kenwood home in Weybridge, Surrey, was jammed with Maseratis, Aston Martins, and the Jaguar E-type, as luxury car dealerships – hungry for business – spotted an opportunity to secure a high-profile client.
The singer, by then a father to 22-month-old Julian by his first wife Cynthia, strolled out to inspect the cars and chose a right-hand drive Ferrari 330GT 2+2 Coupé finished in Azzuro blue paint, with a blue interior, priced at £6,500 (equivalent to just over £110,000 in today's money).
Motor vehicles were to become a passion for Lennon, none more so than this Ferrari, which he used for the best part of three years – until October 1967 – covering more than 20,000 miles.
The car was put on auction in February 2011 by the same auction house Bobhams, in Paris, but failed to reach a buyer.
