Built in 1966 at the peak of the band’s fame, the classic cars were tailored to the rockers’ individual needs.

Starr’s model built as a hatchback to accommodate his drum kit.

The percussion star’s red Mini was sold to red-haired ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell for £102,000 in 2017.

All four Beatles members were gifted the British-built cars after receiving an MBE.
