John Lennon didn't know how to drive but he paid £11,000 for this Phantom V Rolls Royce and hired a Welsh guardsman named Les Anthony to drive him around.
In 1977 Lennon donated the car to the Cooper-Hewitt Museum at the Smithsonian Institute to cover an IRS problem. The Cooper-Hewitt sold the car in 1985 for $2,299,000 to a Canadian businessman and since 1993 it has been in the Royal British Columbia Museum in Canada.
