Наконец увидела роллс-ройс Фантом из той статьи, "итог деятельности команды психоделических маляров под водительством Джона Леннона". Раньше просто в тему эту не заглядывала.
Супер!!!)))))

Когда закончился концерт на стадирне Shea, на какой машине увозят битлов с поля?

Почти "Волга"...

Куда волгалле до этого аппарата! Здесь Humber Super Snipe раннего образца, двухфарный, - модель высшего класса, еще не RR и не Princess, но уже и не Hillman, и не Singer, и уж подавно не Triumph ))))))))

Интересно, а чья машина???

Выше (по ссылке, которую привёл Кот Баюн) сказано:

>The 2009 MINI Cooper S was designed based on
>the wishes of the Olivia Harrison

Здесь сказано про "точную копию":

Концерн BMW выпустил точную копию машины легендарного «битла» в рамках благотворительного проекта вдовы музыканта.

Ну, здесь ничего особенного не сказано:

Специальный экземпляр Mini Cooper S украсят изображениями Шри Янтр и мантрами на санскрите.

Здесь наиболее ясно:

The car is designed with psychedelic images just like the 1966 car Harrison owned... The Mini was even featured in The Beatles' 1967 TV movie Magical Mystery Tour.

Top 10: Beatles' Cars

No.10 - Paul McCartney Edition Lexus RX400h
One of our nation's wealthiest men, Sir Paul is as known today for his activist work as he is for is musical output. However, perhaps it is his music that makes his activist work seem that much more important. Anyway, a few years back, Macca teamed up with Lexus to create a one-off custom RX400h. Designed to commemorate Lexus giving money to McCartney to tour, this hybrid soft-roader boasted a custom wood grain paint job inspired by the ex-Beatle’s 1962 Hofner Bass. This one of a kind ride also came with a reissue of the 1962 Hofner Bass, a VOX amplifier and a collection of McCartney’s music. The vehicle was auctioned off, with the proceeds going to the Adopt-A-Minefield charity.

No.9 - George Harrsion's Aston Martin DB5
Who knew that the "quiet" Beatle was a massive petrol-head? George Harrison was an avid car nut who was privileged enough to own some of the world’s most desirable automobiles. We could do an entire top 10 list based on George’s car collection alone. The first Harrison-mobile we got our minds set on is his classic 1964 Aston Martin DB5. Harrison took delivery of his silver DB5 in 1965, and likely spent his time with the car enjoying its niceties including the Connolly leather interior, Motorola radio and power antenna. This Aston travelled to a museum in Tokyo, then Germany, before being sold at a public auction in England for just shy of £230k.

No.8 - Ringo Starr's Radford Mini de Ville
Ringo Starr bought a very clean two-tone Radford Mini de Ville from Beatles' manager Brian Epstein on June 15, 1967. Radford Minis were custom cars built by Harold Radford Coachbuilders, LTD, from 1963 to 1971. Radford transformed standard Minis into luxury vehicles, adding things like leather seating surfaces, wood trim, revised gauges, Rolls-Royce-inspired two-tone paint schemes, and other luxuries. Ringo’s particular Mini was a hatchback, and it is said that he transported his drums in this tiny machine. This car didn’t stay with Ringo for long; he sold it after just two years.

No.7 - George Harrison's Light Car Company Rocket
The Light Car Company’s Rocket is not a well-known vehicle. It was an F1-inspired street-legal car, powered by a 1,000cc Yamaha motorcycle engine that is the spiritual successor to extreme lightweight machines like the Ariel Atom. Oh yes, we should also mention that it was designed by famed Formula 1 car designer Gordon Murray, and built by former racing driver Chris Craft. Harrison was one of the many celebrities who owned and loved this early hyper car.
