has seen him blow millions on classic cars, outrageous clothes and
expensive works of art.
He told Britain's "Uncut" magazine: "I saw this tram in Melbourne and
I thought, 'I'll have that'. It didn't cost much to ship to
Southampton but getting it into my house was a f***ing nightmare."
He said the tram was now in the garden of his $40 million home in
Berkshire, where neighbours include golfer Nick Faldo. Sir Elton
added: "My boyfriend, David, uses it as an office."

I believe the M&MTB car from Green Bay WI now at Memphis was 478. Was it at
the Railway Museum there?
Speaking of which, M&MTB 520 was supposedly privately preserved by "Sir
Elton John" in the UK. Is this really true? Any details?
