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!).

A few of the photos I took of it just before it was sold on.....

Aha ! Not seen that one before Nev! The same hatch today...

Still looking for it Tim, amongst 13,000 other Beatles pics from '66 to '70!

Nev - great pic you posted, thanks for sharing it

This is the photo you boys are thinking of.

It’s not Peter Harrison’s Radford in the photo though.

Yes that's it. So I wonder what the story is there?

Just found this clip of Ringo with the Hooper on youtube…!

Great video Nidge!

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

Just shows what still crops up all these years later! Good work Nidge

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.

Lovely stuff there Pete!

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...

Some more pictures of Sellers Hooper, robbed from FB

Beauty! just needs a set of hubcaps, the wheels are too new! There was a set on Ebay a while back.

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?

Some more pics a friend of mine took at Goodwood.

Just found this down the back of the sofa...

Is TOP11C the ex Steve McQueen car owned by Lee Brown or a repro?

Its a lookalike based on a much later car.
