  • John Lennon was an iconic musician, songwriter, and peace activist who was widely influential in the 1960s and 1970s as a member of the legendary rock band, The Beatles. As a symbol of the counterculture movement, Lennon was known for challenging the status quo and living a life of luxury. Of all his possessions, perhaps the most impressive are his cars. While Lennon had a variety of luxury cars at his disposal, the exact number of cars he owned is a matter of some dispute. Today we’re exploring the number of cars Lennon owned and the stories behind them.

    Patrick Stewart tells a story about how McCartney gave him the keys to his Aston Martin in 1964. Stewart wasn't a star at the time - he was in a play with Paul's then girlfriend, Jane Asher - and told her that he'd love to be able to drive an Aston Martin. Paul just came into his dressing room one night and tossed him his keys.

      The Lost John Lennon Interview "Power to the People"
      by TARIQ ALI and ROBIN BLACKBURN
      TA (interviewer): In a way you were even thinking about politics when you seemed to be knocking revolution?
      JL (Lennon): Ah, sure, 'Revolution' . There were two versions of that song but the underground left only picked up on the one that said 'count me out'.
      The original version which ends up on the LP said 'count me in' too; I put in both because I wasn't sure.
      There was a third version that was just abstract, musique concrete, kind of loops and that, people screaming.
      I thought I was painting in sound a picture of revolution--but I made a mistake, you know. The mistake was that it was anti-revolution.
      On the version released as a single I said 'when you talk about destruction you can count me out'. I didn't want to get killed.
      I didn't really know that much about the Maoists, but I just knew that they seemed to be so few and yet they painted themselves green and stood in front of the police waiting to get picked off. I just thought it was unsubtle, you know.
      I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it.
      That was how I felt--I was really asking a question.
      As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game. ..."

      Chapman was right. Lennon was a phony.
      A huge mansion filled with expensive furnishings, on a sprawling estate with luxury cars parked in front.
      He was no humanitarian. He was a money making capitalist. The complete opposite of President Jimmy Carter who actually made the world a better place and didn't just sing about it in exchange for millions of dollars.

      While I am a steadfast Beatles fan, and listen to Beatles music almost every day, it has to be said that these 4, like all of us, are/were just humans trying to create a better world, while very aware that there are just as many others out there, (and usually sharing if not intruding in on your personal space) who don't give a rats ass about anyone else but themselves, and are therefore tearing down whatever good we are trying to build and sustain, and attempting, if we can, to enjoy our lives a bit in the process. I see John in this role. Perhaps allowing him to have a car collection, that while frivolous, may have (possibly)in the long run, made him a better contributing human(humanitarian ??), and far less selfish-absorbed human contaminator/user. Just a thought. . .

    I once owned two 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300TD wagons to transport my guitars, amps, keyboards, etc., to and from gigs. One (red) was a US variant, and the other (white) was a Euro-market white 300TD, similar to Lennon's TD. Incidentally, John Lennon purchased the very first Mercedes-Benz 300TD in the US. (When Mercedes was approached by Lennon, they were very excited about the potential publicity, and immediately pulled a Euro-market 300TD from a Berlin dealership showroom, quickly converting it to make it US-legal.) Apparently, Yoko Ono did not like the Merc wagon, calling it a death trap... (Unlike Yoko Ono, I found my wagons to be safe and reliable.) :D

    People seem to be a bit too quick to judge Lennon for having lived a different way of life than he envisioned in his solo part of his musical career. I'd like to ask the following question to these people: is it really that wrong to try and propagate a different life than the one you've been living?
    My point being that we are all human and, by default, equally capable of committing mistakes or acts that contradict our own outspoken principles. The difference here lies in whether we realize those and, if so, whether we try to make a change or choose to stick to our familiar patterns.
    I think John Lennon did the best he could to evolve as an individual despite all the hardships he had to conquer in his life, especially his younger years. Could he have been a better father/husband? Absolutely! Could he have avoided his wrongdoings? Not hardly considering his tainted soul. But I guess it's easier to ignore all of this and keep hating him rather than facing the possibility that you might have been led astray by systems beyond your own control. To me that's worse than what Lennon, in my opinion all too often, is being accused of. Use more than the mandatory 10% of your brain's capacity and be amazed of what you might find. Or don't, it's all good to me either way you choose.
    As for me, I'm choosing to remember him for his unique ability to express his according to me overall inspiring and thoughtful ideas through his music and lyrics. I know he's imperfect and that he only aimed at inspiring others to live a different life than his own rather than trying to glorify himself. Agree or disagree, it's all the same to me. Even if you choose to hate me for defending him, I still won't be bothered. Live and let live.

      No more bourgeois than Michael Jackson who died paying BACK Sony ..a debt slave.

It also shows me you don't grasp capitalism and you have never read Marx,yet you glibly throw Marxist terms around like "bourgeoisie" and "proletariat". The class system in capitalism is SET, a worker CANNOT rise up BECAUSE the bourgeoisie does NOT share in the profit. It would be IMPOSSIBLE for the labels to have made money off of the Beatles, but pay them millions, and if you look up how little they were paid by EMI you would see the verification of that. The FEW cars at any one time IN THE 60s, Lennon "OWNED" ,were either bought for him by the label, or he bought them with ADVANCE money from the label. Music biz is A COMPANY TOWN. The LABEL owned him AND HIS CARS! ...later in the 70s he did not seek the phony status he sought in the 60s as well...read his Red Mole interview....

      That’s about a car every 10 years or so. Very often, too many miles are put on cars to have them last that long. Cars depreciate too quickly & are a money pit but they got the people as they know we need to rely on them. It’s the second most expense all the way around besides mortage/rent w/gas, insurance, licensing, oil changes, replacing tires, repair bills & other upkeep.

    The Lost John Lennon Interview "Power to the People"
    by TARIQ ALI and ROBIN BLACKBURN
    TA (interviewer): In a way you were even thinking about politics when you seemed to be knocking revolution?
    JL (Lennon): Ah, sure, 'Revolution' . There were two versions of that song but the underground left only picked up on the one that said 'count me out'.
    The original version which ends up on the LP said 'count me in' too; I put in both because I wasn't sure.
    There was a third version that was just abstract, musique concrete, kind of loops and that, people screaming.
    I thought I was painting in sound a picture of revolution--but I made a mistake, you know. The mistake was that it was anti-revolution.
    On the version released as a single I said 'when you talk about destruction you can count me out'. I didn't want to get killed.
    I didn't really know that much about the Maoists, but I just knew that they seemed to be so few and yet they painted themselves green and stood in front of the police waiting to get picked off. I just thought it was unsubtle, you know.
    I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it.
    That was how I felt--I was really asking a question.
    As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game. ..."

    One more thing: however one feels, or felt, about John Lennon - personally or professionally - it would be nearly impossible to overstate the enormity of his fame during his lifetime. One would think that if John Lennon owned an enormous collection of automobiles, his global audience would have known about it. Old clips and stills - of random vintage cars - intercut or superimposed with old clips and stills of John Lennon & Yoko Ono - don’t necessarily provide evidence of anything. As for the green 1972 station wagon with the LENNON vanity plates (I can’t fathom why John Lennon would want own or do that), the fact is: there ARE other people with the surname Lennon, some of whom are not rich or famous. Some even in New York.

    I wonder about all this. I’m a lifelong serious Beatles fan; like most Beatles fans, I was aware that John Lennon was seriously near-sighted - George Harrison referred to John Lennon as being “blind as a bat” - and thus Lennon almost always employed a driver. I knew about his original black 1964 Rolls - which he later famously had wildly painted, the “Psychedelic Rolls” - and a second, white, 1968 Rolls, which was often photographed (with Lennon & Ono, and with The Beatles). But a Jay Leno-like car collection? The Lennons were involved in a widely-publicized (and serious) car crash in Scotland in early July 1969 (in which John was reported to have been at the wheel), and especially after they migrated to New York in 1971, an enormous collection of automobiles would hardly have made sense.
