John Lennon's psychedelic Rolls-Royce, a 1965 Phantom V, is an emblem of the 1960s counterculture and Lennon's own artistic evolution. Originally black, the car was famously repainted in 1967 with a vibrant, colorful design that included floral patterns and psychedelic imagery, reflecting the era's "Summer of Love" and the Beatles' exploration into new musical territories. The bespoke design was inspired by a Romany gypsy wagon and executed by artist Steve Weaver. Lennon's Rolls-Royce, equipped with a custom sound system, a record player, and a refrigerator, became not just a mode of transportation but a statement piece that challenged conventional norms of luxury and celebrity. It attracted both admiration and controversy, symbolizing a break from traditionalism and the embrace of a more open, experimental cultural ethos. Today, the car is celebrated as a piece of art and a historic artifact that captures the spirit of its time.

I like the paint on the wheels & hubcaps the best. He made the right call with the white Phantom.

Haters can hate as much as they want. The "psychedelic" Rolls is one of the most famous and recognizable Rolls-Royces in history, and certainly the most valuable Phantom V ever made.

I saw it at the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria British Columbia. I believe it's resides there permanently.

Me and my wife Diane went to London then traveled to Liverpool by Train and got to take a Tour in a Rolls Royce painted like Lennon's pysicadelic ROLLS for about 4 hours driven by our Tour guide. Stopping at a Lot Places, home's they grew up in. Penny Lane on the stereo he had it timed as we drove on Penny Lane past the Barber 💈 shop , Round About. We stopped at was once a Girls School John would climb over this brick wall to sneak a peak at the Girls. There were two Large Gates in front of the school it was knowen as Strawberry Fields. We got out of the Rolls at a lot of famous places the Beatles could be found, Caver Club which has moved to a Newer location just feet away from the original Caver Club. The Church John was an alter boy, outside of that Church where he met Paul McCartney and on the Church grounds is a small Cemetery One of the grave Stones has the Name Eleanor Rigby, another grave stone has the name Father Makenzie.Liverpool has the Hard Days Night Hotel all the Rooms and lobby,Hall Ways A lot of Rare Beatles Memorable.

Sounds like a very cool trip. Brian Espstein is a very interesting character in Beatles lore and there should be written about him. Although he did cut so questionable deals being new as an impresario, if it wasn’t for his hustling The Beatles would have never existed. He made a kings ransom off of them but blew it on gambling and call-boys.

Strawberry Fields was an orphanage, I mean there may have been girls there. I'm from Liverpool and I can tell you we have girls in other places too, so John and the boys wouldn't need to jump over a wall to see them.

Frankly it looks like one of those things that one does when one is 16 years old and then is embarrassed by a couple of years later. Of course in this case the "kid" was in his mid-20's, fabulously wealthy, and had access to the best artists and mechanics to make his slightly goofy fantasy a reality. Still, it's cool that the car is still around, I expected to hear that it got trashed or something. I bet Brian Jones's RR is no longer with us.
