George’s Aston-Martin For Sale
Being a Beatles, James Bond and a car-nut the following item was bound to catch my attention.
According to Autoweek  a platinum-colored Aston Martin DB5 once owned by the late George Harrison is expected to fetch $250,000 to $300,000 when it crosses the auction block in London late this month.
The car was built in 1964 and delivered to then-Beatle Harrison on Jan. 1, 1965, according to RM Auctions Inc., which is holding the Oct. 30 and 31 sale in partnership with Sotheby’s.
The car is unrestored, according to RM. After Harrison, a Tokyo museum owned the Aston. Then it was bought in 1997 and shipped to Germany, the auction company said.
