You'd think that a big hot shot rock 'n' roll star would buy himself a new car...What can we say?

In the interest of honest and comprehensive journalism and, unfortunately, in spite of the? personal feelings involved, we must report to you that Jon Lord's Gull Wing Mercedes 300 SL with the 3 litre fuel-injected, single overhead cam engine which produces somewhere in the neighborhood of 265 horsepower is twenty years old, a 1955, no less! What's the matter. Jon doesn't Deep Purple pay you enough?
