Finally. Something to spend this R1.5 million I have lying around on. Lennon’s 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Coupe (I don’t know what most of that means!) is being auctioned off in February; they expect it go for slightly more than his dark green Chrysler station wagon, which was recently auctioned off for $5,500 (ZAR 37.5k).
See, Lennon only got his license in 1965, by which point his indie-rock group, The Beatles, had started selling out, so he had the freedom to buy fancy Ferrari 330-type vehicles. He sold this guy pretty soon, though, in favour of a psychedelic Rolls Royce. Still, if you really don’t know what to do with a spare $220,000, there are worse things in the world to own.
Please supply your own concluding Beatles pun.
