I made the Hills number plates, sourced the correct early Moto lita steering wheel (with Moto Lita on the bottom spoke) and the Cibie Type 22 head lamps!

Great pics Pete - I have the first two but not seen the bottom one before, looks like it was taken in early '68 (despite the date stamp on the photo which is from when the roll of film it was on was developed), just before the Fabs left Blighty for their long stay in India, looks like it's at Ringo's gaff 'Sunny Heights' in Weybridge

(The middle pic is from July / August '67 I think)

The Beatles: Get Back films will be shown on Disney+ over three nights on November 25, 26, and 27th 2021.
"Sir Peter Jackson said his documentary's two-year edit took eight times longer than a Hollywood movie due to the unearthed material's video and audio being on separate unsynchronised tapes. He explained: "They used only two 16mm cameras... no clapperboard and the audio was out of sync. I had to match everything."

Wasn't that the year Ringo took part in the Tour de France and got the King of the Mountains shirt?

My mother bought me one of those in about 1966...I was very proud of it !

The story of Harold Radford, coachbuilder to the rich and famous.
"The full, tangled background, with insight from Harold Radford himself. And, actually, you won’t get that anywhere else in this online world, because this interview with Harold Radford, published 36 years ago, is pretty much the only one there’s been."

George’s starting to look tired, late 60s or early 70s?

[WMU 211G]

Fantastic pic Pete, where did you find it...? I'd say c.1970/71 maybe.

Just noticed it's sprouted a pair of wing mirrors!

[66Traveller]

Surely some mistake….

Is it Cheney Walk in Chelsea, where Mick Jagger had a bachelor pad....?

A while ago I posted some hastily grabbed screen shots of the Mk1 Radford used in an episode of 'The Persuaders' called 'Take Seven', last night I had another go and these are a little bit better than the others, it's definitely a Radford, as it drives away from the camera you can clearly see the Raddie dash top, the Elf / Hornet bodyside trim and the rectangular plate badge on the bootlid, although not too clear in the pic the rear bumper looks very much like a Clubman one on screen....

(The episode was filmed in the Autumn of 1970 and first broadcast on 1st October 1971)

That green colour looks similar to Lennon’s

That was also my first thought on seeing that screen shot.

It's more of a khaki / baby poo brown colour when you see it on the screen

PS That reg looks like FLA 333C, is that of any significance?

[Nevsmini]

Possibly the Radford FLA583C

"I would doubt that without a very large cheque book, that this could be repeated."

Thank God for that....

Perhaps on the basis of its sheer hideousness...

I've searched but did not find this video posted by Jeroen on YouTube last December on the forum, apologies if you've posted it before.

It shows footage of the Radford Mini Countryman built for Jack Heinz, that was used when he visited England.
