Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood has a huge car collection worth millions but he bought his most prized vehicle for just $16

Mick Fleetwood’s car collection didn’t appear overnight.

It grew slowly, following his life as it lurched between small gigs, huge success, and the occasional financial mess.

Put it all together and the garage is now worth millions.

But Fleetwood has never talked about his cars like trophies – they’re more like mile markers.

The surprisingly weird car collection belonging to Mick Fleetwood

For someone best known as the drummer behind Fleetwood Mac, Mick’s taste in cars has always been a little odd.

Yes, there are valuable classics. 

But there’s also a lot of impractical stuff – the kind of cars you buy because you love them, not because they’re fast or flashy.

There’s a tiny Austin 7 he’s owned for decades, plus a Jaguar XK120 he once drove through miserable weather with no roof because he couldn’t afford the hardtop.

When Fleetwood Mac took off in the ‘70s, the collection grew up with it. 

Fleetwood moved to the US and leaned into the moment, buying a huge gold Cadillac Eldorado and cruising around Los Angeles.

Later came faster, more serious cars, including a Porsche Carrera 4 Turbo – the sort of thing you buy when life has calmed down just enough to enjoy it.

The pattern is simple. 

Fleetwood kept cars because they meant something to him. 

Even when money was tight, he struggled to let them go. 

They weren’t investments, they were reminders.

The $16 vehicle that started everything

Fleetwood’s most important vehicle wasn’t a Ferrari or a Porsche. 

It was an old London taxi.

He bought it from a cab driver in Notting Hill Gate for about £12 – roughly $16. 

No missing zeroes.

The taxi mattered because it worked. 

It could fit his drum kit, and drive it to gigs himself. 

Back then, that was everything. 

Fleetwood has said that having the gear – and a way to move it – could matter almost as much as being able to play.

The taxi made him useful. 

It got him hired. 

It kept him moving.

So while his garage today could be worth millions, the cheapest thing he ever owned might’ve been the one that made all of it possible.
