Mick Jagger's W&P Stu, pic is taken outside a courthouse where Jagger was up on drugs charges, Summer of '67. There's a clip of it on Pathe News.

Not seen this one before Pete thanks for posting. That was their last full tour with Brian still in the band, a quickfire stint around Europe with chaos and riots ensuing at pretty much every gig they played.

Pete - just seen your posts on these photos on the FB W&P group, the driver is one of the lads employed by the band's right hand man Tom Keylock for various duties, including driving them around, procuring nefarious substances etc
