Inside Ringo Starr’s £800k exotic car collection including ‘fastest car of the 60s’

Ringo Starr, the drummer for The Beatles, was a bit of a secret petrolhead when not on tour. Over the years, he has racked up a collection of stunning motors including a Mini specially adapted to store his drum kit. Ringo's first car, a Standard Vanguard picked up in 1959, made him the first Beatle to buy a car, though it was well before he joined the band in 1962. Apart from the smashed-up 280E, Ringo seemed to have a real thing for Mercedes.
