There'll be ALOT of interest in that, I could see Dave Grohl or someone like that buying it. I had a cheap crap Japanese version of that when I was a kid that kept falling to bits and had a habit of wandering around the floor whilst playing,

"The highlight of the sale was a drum kit played by Starr on many Beatles hits, which fetched $2.1m (£1.4m)."

This one hasn't been seen in a long time I don't think...

The well known owner of this car is not interested in it being found

This one apparently used to belong to a member of the group Foreigner...



Anyone Stateside recognise it? Blue with Beetle rear lights and hatchback.

Found a second picture taken by me from the Radford in 1982.

Never seen this one before. She is a mk1 W&P margrave. It can be ID from the Rover P4 handles and locks WP used. These locks greatly reduced the chances of the doors dropping with the extra weight and also made the car that bit more secure.

Would you mind emailing me a higher res of the photos

Cheers

Going back to the initial post in this thread with the colour swatch, and then looking at this rather splendid photo, do we think it is one of the colours on the swatch ?

Alex it's close but it's to light to be 'Rouge Irise' or what a lot of people call it these days 'Regal Red' and I'm not sure if W&P's used the same colour as Radford's.

Ummm....
My car is blue !

I did Google Irise Blue, but it appears to be a much later Peugeot colour. I guess Radfords just renamed existing colours.

Rouge Irise and Regal Red are different colours

RR Paint Codes

Rouge Irise 9500510

Regal Red 9500406

Also Blue Irsie is probably Bleu Fonce Irise RR Code 9500585
