Headline: Personal cars of legendary British rock group The Beatles to star at auction

Caption: **E-MAIL INFO@COVER-IMAGES.COM FOR FULL STORY COPY** IN PHOTO: Paul McCartney's 1965 Morris Mini Cooper S DeVille Worldwide Auctioneers has confirmed that two of the cars slated for its 11th annual The Auburn Auction in September come with star studded provenance, as the one-time property of members of legendary British rock band, The Beatles. Musical and cultural icon John Lennon’s last personal Mercedes-Benz is all set to go under the hammer alongside Paul (now Sir) McCartney’s custom-made Morris Mini Cooper. Each will be offered entirely without reserve as part of The Godbey Family Collection, one of seven exciting no reserve collections to be presented at this year’s sale. Consigned to go under the hammer at no reserve with them, from the same Museum, is a wild 1957 Bentley S1 Psychedelic Replica, a captivating tribute to the original “Apple Corps/Beatles” car, executed with a stunning combination of 14 paint colors and uniquely trimmed interior for the Brucker family’s famed Movie World museum and theme park in Buena Vista, California, back in the 1970s. This Psychedelic Replica was acquired for the Sarasota Classic Car Museum circa 2007 and offers its new owner a uniquely authentic way to experience their own slice of 1960’s London. The Auburn Auction will again take place at the National Auto & Truck Museum, L-29 Cord Building in Auburn, Indiana, on Saturday, September Ist over Labor Day Weekend.
