If you were just getting your driver's license now, what car would you buy? John Lennon got a Ferrari. This is the one, and it's going up for auction.

The Beatles frontman didn't get his license until he was 25, rich and famous, and when he did, local car dealers lined up outside the gates of his Kenwood residence with an array of cars to choose from. He ultimately selected this French racing blue Ferrari 330 GT 2+2, and though it was soon joined in the motor pool by a Mini and a Rolls-Royce, this will always remain the first car of the rock & roll legend.

Destined for the auction block on February 5 at the Grand Palais in Paris, Bonhams estimates its value between €120,000 – 170,000 ($155-220k).
