I think it is Nidge.

Came across another colour shot of George H's Radford alongside Patti's orange Mk1 'GUU 707C' yesterday, parked together outside Kinfauns in Esher, I saved it into a file somewhere but can't find the bugger now!

Edit - found it, taken by Susan Baker... not brilliant but nice to have all the same...
Also found another b&w shot of George with LGF 695D still in black at Kinfauns in '66...

Found another shot of Macca's Radford from '67 with Jane Asher and Martha the sheepdog in attendance...

Macca has just announced 3 UK tour dates for Liverpool, Glasgow and London on 12, 14 & 16th December 2018.

Not a Radford but has a touch of coachbuilt with a Tilling window conversion and Dunlop D1s, only just spotted it while looking for something else - a screen grab from 'Strange Report' filmed in '68...

Apologies for the crap photo, I had to take it off my work ipad as the same image wouldn't come up on a normal google search... Mickey Rourke's Mk1 Morris Cooper S in LA in October 2000, with Radford style door treatment and blended in arches...
Found this one easily enough c/o the Getty archive...

I wonder what the story is to that one Nidge? A 60s/70s creation or even 90s? He won't get far on that N/S front!

Australian doors with quarterlights

Hmmm curious one... Auz import into the US converted to RHD maybe..?

I remember this car from the 70's. It was originally owned by a film director named Hal Ashby. It was/is a real Radford and had a Downton tuned engine.
The car was painted dark blue...same color as s.u. Mark's Ogle racer with a black interior. After Hal's passing a friend bought it and restored it adding the
WP flares and green paint and later sold it the MR who added the stripes and had someone build a "hot rod" engine. I think the car was crashed badly afterwards.
If you look up some photos from the Austin Power movie you can see it parked in the street wearing with ???H638F for a license plate....that was before MR
purchased it.

Thanks Jay - great stuff

You are welcome....I think the conversion from right to left hand drive was done after MR bought it. If you google Austin Powers movie cars you will see it.

P.S. I have no idea how they dealt with the dashboard.
Look up Hal Ashby....hell of a interesting guy!

Will do, thanks.

Looking at the door cards the car went to W&P after Radfords or it was converted when new by W&P

From what I remember the car had regular Radford door panels before being sold to MR. He changed a lot of stuff once he purchased
it. This cars been in California since new or almost and never modified by WP.

This just in from the 'Beatles Monthly' mag of August '67 regarding George's Radford LGF 695D...

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...

Could be. Only difference I can pot are the wing mirrors, even the hubs look like knock off style.



And whilst looking for that I found this one




By the way the W&P thread is called Wood & Picket Info, only one t in Pickett!!!!!!!
