JOHN LENNON’S 1956 AUSTIN PRINCESS⠀
As featured in the ‘Jealous Guy’ section of the 1971 IMAGINE film, this Type A135 was powered by a 3,995cc overhead-valve inline 6-cylinder engine with 125hp and 4-speed manual transmission. It featured independent front suspension with coil springs, a solid rear beam axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs and 4-wheel drum brakes. With a 3,353mm wheelbase, chassis #DH2-12785 was completed with hearse coachwork by Arthur Mulliner Ltd. of North Hampton. Initially acquired by a generations-old mortuary, Ann Bonham & Son, the Austin hearse was purchased in August 1971 by John Lennon, as reflected by the original registration document that features his printed name and signature. John unusually customized the Princess with two rows of airline seats (complete with ashtray arms).

Just after the film ended, I sat on a piano in my house and started to play the tunes… and magically I learned to play the song Imagine, only by ear in 10 minutes. I think John was there with me, somehow. Happy Birthday John, from Ecuador! “
