    Music Stars And Cars: What Do They Drive?

    A new book 'Rock Stars Cars' shows music stars with their most prized possession on wheels.

    1. Rock Star Cars Elton John

      1. Elton John - Jaguar E-Type

      "In the drive of his home in Old Windsor, Elton creates his very own traffic jam. The E-type gets pole position, with its personalised number plate representing 'OK Elton'." Pictures: Rock Star Cars

    2. Rock Star Cars Elvis Presley

      2. Elvis Presley - Cadillac Eldorado Seville

      "He's just popped into town to get his hair cut at Jim's Barber Shop, Memphis, and a cop appears to write him out a ticket for his new white Cadillac. It's unknown whether he's tucking a bribe into the officer's pocket or just crossing his fingers." Picture: Rock Star Cars

    3. Rock Star Cars Sonny and Cher

      3. Sonny and Cher - Mustangs

      "Created to reflect the personalities of husband and wife singing duo Sonny Bono and Cher, this pair of 1966 Mustangs came in two different sizes. As a publicity stunt, it must have been an expensive one." Picture: Rock Star Cars

    4. Rock Stars Cars George Harrison

      4. George Harrison - Aston Martin DB5

      "An 007-like pose by Aston Martin-loving George outside his Surrey bungalow, Kinfauns." Picture: Rock Stars Cars

    5. Rock Stars Cars Freddie Mercury

      5. Freddie Mercury - Studebaker Champion

      "Freddie gets first prize in the Rock Stars Cars' product placement competition as he makes himself comfortable on this 1950 Studebaker Champion." Picture: Rock Stars Cars

    6. Rock Star Cars Dolly Parton

      6. Dolly Parton - Cadillac De Villa

      "A smouldering Dolly Parton packs a few frocks and a trunk full of guitars ready for another tour. Her 1997 Cadillac d'Elegance was a favourite and is now on display, complete with autographed arm rests, at the Hollywood Star Cars Museum." Picture: Rock Star Cars

    7. Rock Star Cars Janis Joplin

      7. Janis Joplin - Porsche 365

      "When Janis purchased this 1965 Porsche 365 Cabriolet second-hand in 1968, it was plain old white. She very quickly decided that the car needed jazzing up and persuaded her roadie, Dave Roberts, to give it a psychedelic finish." Picture: Rock Star Cars

    8. Rock Star Cars Springsteen

      8. Bruce Springsteen - Chevrolet Corvette

      "Acquired on the back of a ton of sales for his 'Born to Run' album in 1975, Burce's 1960 Chevrolet Corvette is parked on Colonial Avenue, Haddonfield, New Jersey." Picture: Rock Star Cars

    9. Rock Star Cars Morrissey

      9. Morrissey - Fiat 500

      "His Fiat 500 is the slightly larger "estate" model known as the 'Giardiniera', produced between 1960 and 1975 (and possibly also the name of Mozza's favourite pizza)." Picture: Rock Star Cars

    10. Rock Star Cars Miles Davis

      10. Miles Davis - Lamborghini Miura

      "This was the green Lamborghini Miles totalled during a risky driving manoeuvre in 1972, breaking both ankles in the process. Although hospitalised for a lengthy period and unable to perform, he couldn't bear to be without a Lamborghini and quickly purchased another." Picture: Rock Star Cars

    11. Rock Stars Cars Paul Weller

      11. Bob Dylan - Cadillac Escalade

      "Bob never does anything you expect him to do. He lent his still magnetic presence to this Cadillac commercial for their latest model in 2007." Picture: Rock Stars Cars

    12. Rock Stars Cars Johnny Cash

      12. Johnny Cash - Cadillac ('49 - '70)

      "This Frankenstein's monster of a Cadillac was built to promote Johnny Cash's song 'One Piece at a Time'. The song's about an assembly-line worker who steals a Cadillac by taking one piece at a time home in his lunchbox. Nashville mechanic Bruce Fitzpatrick (far right) constructed the car from Cadillac parts, using the song as a manual." Picture: Rock Stars Cars

    13. Rock Stars Cars Rod Stewart

      13. Rod Stewart - Enzo Ferrari

      "Rod likes Ferraris. when interviewed by GQ magazine he couldn't remember exactly how many he owned. "I've got Ferraris coming out me bum," he jested." Picture: Rock Star Cars
