Money can’t buy you love, but it can buy you cars. Which, all things considered, is probably a better investment. And George Harrison, lead guitarist of The Beatles, certainly thought so. To call him a car enthusiast would be something of an understatement. After becoming a part of the most successful band in the history, Harrison started exploring the automotive world with increased vigor. With the influx of cash that Harrison and his bandmates started to enjoy as their popularity rose, they began to splash out on some luxury automobiles. It's of some debate how many cars Harrison actually owned over the years, considering the frenzied abandon with which he bought and sold them. But one thing's for sure, George Harrison's collection is awe-inspiring, and is sure to make you twist and shout. Today, we're going on a magical mystery tour of George Harrison's iconic car collection. Let's begin.

Sat in the back of his Mercedes 600 ,he had Nina Simone 8 track tapes from memory in the rear tape player lol.....Had no idea he had brought that car from John Lennon. I know who the current owner of TGU 6M is i believe .I understand in `1979 when George sold it on for £200k it went to a Japanese collector, i believe it went to Japan for a while............ .

A bicycle. George was photographed in the very early days of the Beatles, driving off in a Herald convertible with Ringo.

I have a very old photo taken by my father (who was a massive Beatles fan, so much so i can not stand hearing them any longer). The photo is of an E type jag outside a record shop on New Kings Road in Chelsea. My father was in awe of the car, and only as the owner got in, did he realise that it was George Harrison.

I paid £4625 for that car ,brought from Keith Manning a trader in Woking, in 1974,who i believe took it in from the first owner as a part exchange, Saw it advertised in the Exchange & Mart. He took my John Player Lotus Europa Special in part exchange lol.@@FusionKidd

George Harrison also had a Rocket, by Gordon Murray, the designer of the McClaren F1. This was an open wheeler for the road with seating for two, one behind the other. A fabulous vehicle. George is sadly missed, he was a great guy.

sorry to be pedantic Fusion Kidd but the Ferrari Dino is pronounced deano not dyno. It was named after Enzo Ferrari's son.

No mention here of his several Facel Vega HK 500s that he owned and were one of his obsessions ; Ringo had at least one as well

Be interesting to know if these beauties are still in a garage at Friar Park. Luxury cars definitely held their value much better than the £ in the 1970s. So being a massive petrol head was a good investment 😂

George… the "spiritual" one... who drooled over expensive cars and silly car racing. George… the "spiritual" one... who lived in the biggest house of all of them, a house with 30+ rooms. George… the "spiritual" one... who complained the most about money and taxation.

I can assure you -it is possible to enjoy material objects while maintaining your spirituality. The Concert of Bangladesh was performed way after his lust of the mechanical took root.

So you change the number of rooms to seem more correct? Wattaajackass.
