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

It would be good to see the pic to compare with below, a friend of mine bought the Peter Harrison Mini below at the 2013 auction but sold it on two or three years later unrestored, after he went over budget on a property renovation project (now finished) and a very early '59 Mini restoration (almost finished!).
Pity we don't see more of the Hooper but it's a nice bit of history all the same, found loads of Beatles and Stones related stuff from '66 and '67 recently
Bri sent me this photo of the Sellers' Hooper at Goodwood....I did wonder why I got a message about it a few weeks ago! First showing since restoration.

Regards the Ringo film clip - when he gets out of the car you can see one of the snappers with a 16mm cine camera, I wonder what happened to that particular footage, it must have shown the Hooper very well, filming from that angle...
It is a beautiful restoration - I sold him those 4.5 Mk1 Cosmics years ago!
The front number plate isn't quite right - the original was an ACE which has squarer digits (still available new at a price) - the restored car has Bluemels shaped digits. Anorak central I know....

Does anyone know who has the wicker car from the film? (the Blake Edwards car, the one with the broad border line round the wicker) I know JD Classics had it for sale after buying it at auction from Peter Nelson, but I'm not sure who bought it from them or if it stayed in the country?
