The car you see here once belonged to George Harrison, a musician who is best known for his role as lead guitarist for The Beatles. It was delivered to him brand new back in 1965 and comes with the 4.0-liter straight-six that’s supposed to offer 282 horsepower and a top speed of 148 miles per hour.

The car has spent some time in a museum and in the hand of a collector. It’s still in original and unrestored condition, which is rare for a car of the era.
