I would love to have one of those 1972 Chrysler Town and County's, I can see why they loved it. Big, roomy, powerful 400ci engine, tough A727 transmission and 9.25" axle. It's a bulletproof car and other than the bright green paint quite anonymous in that time period. They certainly could afford the fuel cost for it. Just prooves that British people mock our huge cars from the 60s and 70s out of jealousy. They had to buy something like a Rolls Royce to have that much car for many times the price.
Considering that it was the first Mercedes Benz wagon of it's kind shipped to the USA it does hold a special value to automotive enthusiasts, the fact it was owned by the Lennon's is just extra. I know that today it would sell for a lot considering how much the collector car market has exploded.
I learned to drive on an 80 wagon just like this one. The seats were just fine. Really nice car
