John Lennon's first car ever and his former mansion are up for sale for a combined price of 14million pounds.

The attractive blue Ferrari 330GT 2+2 Coupe has not touched the Tarmac at the luxury Kenwood estate since 1968 at the height of Beatlemania, but now it is placed outside the home for the first time in 50 years, the Daily Express reported.

According to experts, the classic car, which boasts a 4-litre V12 engine and a top speed of 152mph, is expected to fetch 220,000 pounds after it is auctioned next month.

The sale will include cars original registration certificate, service history and correspondence with the singer.

The car is being auctioned by Bonhams at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Tim Schofield, head of Bonhams' motor car department told the publication that these cars are very desirable and even without the John Lennon connection this example would fetch around 150,000 pounds.
