The new Beatlemobile, which cost Lennon about $10,000 to buy and have refurbished, "is really a toy for four-year-old Julian," said John, who is vacationing en famille in Greece with the Ringo Starrs and Paul McCartney.

When the trigger of a V-L rifle is pulled, a powerful spring drives a cocked plunger into a cylinder, compressing and heating the trapped air to about 2,000° F. Escaping into the firing chamber through a valve, a jet of heated air strikes...
