  • Welcome back to another one of our videos.
    Today, we go over not just a car, but a true piece of history!
    This 600 Pullman was ordered by and delivered new to music legend and cultural icon, John Lennon. He then sold the car to his fellow Beatle George Harrison, who owned it for a number of years before being purchased by Mary Wilson of The Supremes, how about that for provenance?
    We hope you enjoy this episode!

    I actually prefer the fact it was later owned by George Harrison. So it’s got two Beatles ownership. Surely that makes it even more rare?

    This kind of stuff is why I admire you , THJ.
    You appreciate cars for their place in history, not just because it has a zillion HP and is a bajillion dollars (quid).
    When I take my wife back to the UK (from Vancouver), I’d love to visit your new pub and one day shake your hand.

    Ringos 600 is in Melbourne's fox museum I sat in it when it arrived from the UK in 1995 and found the paperwork of it's previous owner whilst I was in it photos of Ringo George and Eric Clapton sitting in the same seat I was! Blew my mind😅

    All your cars should be marketed this way. You've just sold the 1974 FERRARI DINO 246 GTS CHAIRS AND FLARES & it would have been a classic to know more.

    In the Get Back documentary you see George in a white Mercedes 600 several times, as well as Ringo's silver one, plus Paul's red Lamborghini 350 GT. I believe John's in a RR. It's well worth watching for many reasons but the cars are all fantastic.

      Yes, that was another Mercedes 600 with short wheelbase George Harrison owned before this one. And John Lennon indeed had a Rolls-Royce Phantom V.

      It must be a seven figure price in this condition and with this history. "Normal" 600 Pullman already fetch over half a million today.

    You should give Sir Lewis Hamilton a call, this is the perfect car for his collection, he owns a modern Pullman, he is a musician at heart and the Mercedes factory restoration, him being a Mercedes F1 works driver……perfect fit!

    I think it should stay in the UK or the Continent. The condition of roads & crazy traffic (and drivers) in the US would be too dangerous. Keep it safe 🙂

    Nobody cares that John Lennon owned that car. But what bothers us is the steering wheels on the wrong side. Kind of a White Elephant. Probably find a nicer One For Less🎉
