A 1956 Austin Princess isn’t naturally a special car, but a 1956 Austin Princess limousine owned by John Lennon can be called a special car. Lennon bought the vehicle in 1971, now it can be yours, because it’s going for auction in September. Due to its ownership history, this automobile will likely be pricey, however a part of the profits from its sale will be donated to some charities.
RM Sotheby’s will offer Lennon’s old Princess limousine at its London auction on September 7th, where it’s anticipated to cost more than $300,000. In the back are five airplane seats supposedly set up during Lennon’s ownership of the car, and there’s a copy of the registration file with Lennon’s signature included part of the sale.
The auction listing notes Lennon owned this automobile while he composed the tune Imagine and is included in the film of the very same name. Though Lennon sold it after a little over a year of ownership, it’s still a crucial piece of souvenirs for fans of the former Beatles member. It’ll surely become the world’s most costly Austin Princess when it’s auctioned.
