Radford mini de ville colour cards found!!!

[Nevsmini]

I know this isn't a Raddie but the W&P thread doesn't come up in a search (probably my PC playing up again), is it Laurence Harvey's Mk2 S...? Looks like it has his initials hand painted on the door...

I think this one is in the Isle of Man now

Thanks Nev

Australian doors with quarterlights

I don't think they are. The lower front corner of Australian doors is a seperate piece of stainless, and is more angular and less rounded.

Below is from the letters page of my local paper this week (Surrey Comet)......Note also the Tolworth Roundabout where George Harrison's Mini parks up to visit a Builders Merchant shop is only 5 minutes walk from the Cooper Works at Hollyfield Road, Surbiton.

Not normally a Radford fan, but I really like that, looks subtle and classy.

Lovely photos Nidge. Never seen them before. What’s with the off road tyres I wonder.

[Pete]

Harrison had the rally tyres on his at one point aswell! Yes strange!

Just thought after seeing the camera in Ringo's hand. I wonder if he took any photos of his cars and maybe even the others ? A treasure hunt challenge for you Pete. Didn't I read somewhere that he had started to review his pictures?

He did publish a few snaps a few years ago, no Minis in them. I think he was more interested in snapping pics of his new baby! Harrison was the petrolhead of the band no doubt!

I wouldn't be surprised if there are plenty of private photos amongst their families showing various cars in the background, the stuff that's surfacing online now is mostly from fans who managed to get close to them at their homes or at Abbey Road, I reckon there are a lot of pics none of us will ever get to see though. '67 was by far their busiest year and they were in and out of each other's cars and houses all the time. I came across a shot of Macca outside his house in Cavendish Avenue with Cyn's Porsche 911 a couple of weeks ago, she didn't own it for very long so it's a wonder there are any photos of it at all, I've got five and that's it.

Going back to the two 'new' pics I posted of Ringo and the Hooper, there were at least half a dozen photographers present when Ringo arrived at and left the hospital that day, there must be dozens of contact sheets and prints tucked away somewhere in newspaper archives, some of which are bound to show the Mini. I hope and like to think they haven't been tossed into the bin!

Ive definately seen/got other photos from outside Queen Carlotte's hospital but the majority of the car is always not in frame, always been keen to see a rear view of it but never have.

There's a great high res colour shot of Macca getting into the passenger side of an Iris metallic blue Radford, which is evidently not a Beatles car! Thought it could have been Peter Harrison's?

I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking "ooft, those are a bit of Rich!" when I saw them.

You'll be whittlin a set for the 'er, Cooper s' before you know it.

I know the blue Raddie pic you mean Pete, I've got a grainy low res version of it, I'm guessing it would be George's brothers car too.

[Nevsmini]

A friend of mine sent me this photo, which just about shows the Hatch. Which matches the car today.

It'd be good to see that pic, if possible Nidge?
