Auto Trader’s garage band
In honour of the world’s greatest gig, Adrian Hearn has put together the world’s greatest supergroup – made up of the music stars who’ve had their cars for sale on this very site.
What do you do when you’re the world’s most famous crooner and you don’t want to be noticed? Buy a Chrysler LeBaron. Sinatra was given the inconspicuous motor by wife Barbara in 1985, which he owned until he gave up driving in 1991.
Clapton’s Italian supercar was powered by a 3.6-litre V8 producing 400bhp and 275lb/ft of pulling power. This accelerated the Prancing Horse from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds before running out of steam at 183mph. New, the 360 cost £114,000, but Clapton’s model was on the market in February last year for £69,000.
Iron Maiden guitarist Smith was the proud owner of a retro 1986 Jaguar, which featured a monstrous 5.3-litre V12 and had a top speed of 153mph. But unlike Clapton’s Ferrari, you don’t need to re-mortgage your house to buy this rock star’s car – Smith’s Jag was offered on Auto Trader in October last year for £5,500.
It’s Take That reunion number two as front men Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams join the Auto Trader supergroup. Barlow – who writes and sings for Take That –takes up the role as pianist. His 2003 Porsche Cayenne Tiptronic was capable of a top speed of 150mph and was loaded with extras including sat-nav and a PlayStation 2.
New Order star Hooky’s Mitsubishi popped up on Auto Trader in February this year. The solid 4x4 was powered by a 3-litre engine and had a host of luxuries including cruise control and leather seats.
Status Quo star Parfitt was the second owner of the top-of-the-range 6.75-litre Bentley. The luxury four-door motor produced 400bhp and an earth-moving 615lb/ft of pulling power, enabling the 5.5-litre behemoth to rocket from 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds.
The Jamiroquai front man and premier league petrolhead has previously owned two cars which have been on sale on Auto Trader. His 3.2-litre Porsche Cayenne was for sale in March, while his convertible Ferrari 360 was on the market in August last year.
