Vancouver business tycoon Jim Pattison shells out $2.2 million at a Sotheby’s auction for a yellow 1965 Rolls-Royce Phantom V formerly owned by the late John Lennon. The car, in which the Beatles travelled to pick up their MBE awards from Buckingham Palace the same year, was originally put on display at Pattison's Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum in South Carolina as "the most expensive used car in the world."
Nicknamed the Yellow Submarine, the car was later donated to the province and exhibited behind glass as part of Expo 86 before ending up at the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria.
