A 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL (Pagoda) belonging to Beetles legend John Lennon was auctioned off in the U.S. for USD 225K.
Bearing the original U.K. registration numbers GCP 196C, this very special 230 SL was originally delivered to John Winston Lennon (M.B.E) in 1965 and retains the original documentation and logbook documents, even bearing the music icon’s signature on the registration.
GCP 196C was owned by several British owners before making its way to the U.S. in the mid-1980s. The car has subsequently been owned by a number of collectors and museums before going to auction last week. according to carlist.my
They were several Lennon’s objects sold at auction this year: John Lennon’s original sketch of the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover, which was found in a sketchbook at the Beatle’s Surrey, England home- was estimated to be worth between $40,000 and $60,000.
A pre-production copy of the Beatles’ 1966 album Yesterday … And Today, complete with hand-drawn artwork by John Lennon, has been ranked as the “rarest Beatles record in the world” by the auction site Heritage.
According with NME John Lennon‘s old motorbike is to be put up for sale in the spring.
The late Beatle‘s bike – a Honda Monkey-Trail Bike XUC 91H – was used by Lennon between 1969 to 1971 to get around his Tittenhurst Park estate in the Surrey countryside.
The owner of a small motorcycle bought 40 years ago has finally confirmed that it was once owned by John Lennon. John Harington was told that the Honda DAX “monkey bike” had been the musician’s when he paid £250 for it in 1971, but did not believe it.
The yachtsman, of Weymouth, Dorset, who used the bike to travel around foreign ports, researched its origins after seeing a photograph of Lennon riding it with his son Julian. The Beatle used the bike at Tittenhurst Park, his estate in Berkshire, where he lived in the late 1960s.
