Fancy a ferrari? John Lennon's first car and home go on sale for £14million

Thursday, June 27, 2013

THE first car ever bought by John Lennon sits outside his former mansion for the first time in 50 years - and now both are up for sale for a combined total of £14million.The beautiful blue Ferrari 330GT 2+2 Coupe has not touched the Tarmac at the luxury Kenwood estate since 1968 at the height of Beatlemania.

While the mock Tudor mansion in Weybridge, Surrey, was home to Lennon and his first wife Cynthia between 1964 and 1968. Less than a year after buying Kenwood, Lennon passed his driving test and didn’t have to go any further than his front door to pick his first car.

Dealers from around the country flocked to the county pad with their luxury cars in the hope of bagging a high profile client.
Lennon strolled round the assortment of deluxe Aston Martins, Maseratis and Jaguars, before forking out £6,500 - around £110,000 today - for the Ferrari.
