John Lennon's 1970 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman-Limousine
The Mercedes-Benz 600 is one of the most iconic saloons ever produced. Incredibly popular with celebrities and heads of state alike, it is a masterpiece of engineering and opulence.
Chassis 001580 is a rare right-hand drive four-door 600 Pullman and it is surely the most important 600 ever built. It was ordered and owned new by music legend and cultural icon, John Lennon and was equipped with a whole host of extras befitting one of the greatest music stars of all time.
The chosen colour was DB 050, which is the understated yet elegant option of white and the interior was trimmed in a luxurious mixture of smooth plush back velour with black leather panelling, grey carpets and a cream headlining.
In the early 1970s, John Lennon moved to the United States and the Pullman was sold to fellow Beatle George Harrison. The car was then purchased from George Harrison by Mary Wilson of The Supremes and she used it while on tour in both the US and the UK. It stayed in her ownership for almost 15 years.

Over thirty years ago in 1985, a classic Ferrari was too rare and expensive to destroy in a movie. So most of the Ferrari scenes in the 80s coming-of-age classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off were shot with three Modena GT Spyders, built by Modena Design and Development in California. It's a testament to their work that the three custom cars were mistaken for Ferraris — that's how good the design and construction is. This is the third of the three Modenas and was restored by Neil Glassmoyer, a founder of Modena Design. With beautiful fiberglass bodywork and a V8 with four Weber carburetors, this Modena Spyder is a modern classic with a starring role in one of Hollywood's most beloved films.
Victoria Silvstedt is a Swedish actress, singer, model, tv host, and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss World Sweden.
Silvstedt participated in the Miss Sweden beauty pageant, and she was chosen to represent her country in the 1993 Miss World pageant in Sun City, South Africa, eventually making the Top 10.
Silvstedt was signed up by a modeling agency in Paris, and she started working for various prestigious fashion houses, including Chanel, Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Givenchy, Loris Azzaro, and Valentino, appearing in advertisements and fashion shows.
Silvstedt was soon noticed by Hugh Hefner, who invited her to do a photo shoot for Playboy magazine in Los Angeles. She became the December 1996 Playmate of the Month, and was then chosen as the 1997 Playmate of the Year. Silvstedt has since appeared in various Playboy magazines, including Playboy Special Editions, as well as Playboy Videos. In the late 1990s, Silvstedt landed one of the most sought-after modeling contracts in the world, becoming the Guess? spokesmodel, succeeding among others Claudia Schiffer and Anna Nicole Smith."
