AN Aston Martin car which Sir Paul McCartney owned at the height of The Beatles’ success is set to sell for £1.5million.

Sir Paul was just 22 when he bought the Aston Martin DB5 – complete with a built-in Philips record player – in 1964.

He kept it for six years, racking up more than 40,000 miles during this period.

It was last sold publicly in 2012 when a collector bought it for £344,000.

But it is set to sell for more than four times as much in December when Bonhams auctions it in Bond Street, London.

Bonhams has given it a guide price of £1.2m to £1.5m – more than 350 times the £3,800 Sir Paul paid for it.
