Lennon and Harrison.View attachment 77109
Always liked this pic, it's been posted on various forums many, many times, but it's actually photoshopped! The original pic of Lennon's fabby Phantom V was taken in May '67 on the day his chauffeur Alf picked it up from JP Fallon's coachworks in Surrey, this is the original pic....
The photoshop pic of Harrison's equally fabby Radford Cooper S was taken at Goodwood in 2008 not long after it was restored, during the resto the original bespoke wrought iron bumpers were replaced with standard Mini items painted gold, Mk1 Cosmic alloys were replaced by modern repro Minilights and the Hills 'raised digit' number plates were replaced with modern pressed alloy ones. Some of the psychedelic paintwork is slightly different to the original too, which was done in the summer of '67. This is the same car photographed in George's back garden in '68, just before he sold it to Eric Clapton, George got it back c.1970 and it still belongs to his family....
Hope that makes sense! ;-)
