Meanwhile, does anyone know what the two door coupe is that Mick Jagger is getting into in 1969...?

Mulliner Park Ward Coupe "Chinese Eye" (I suppose we shouldn't say that anymore).

Good call, although its difficult to find any photos of one with the those side repeaters fitted?

The booze was certainly flowing during the making of the film, when they shot the scenes in the Assembly Rooms in Kentish Town, Liz Taylor was behind the bar pulling pints...

Spent many an hour in the Assembly Rooms back in the 90's....

Macca at home in St.John's Wood in the '70s with his late Series 2 Espada, reg'd 'JLL 834K' at the time...

[21st Century Man]

Shouldn't he have another head?

[P5BNij]

Nice taste in motors but I don't think much of his Winter socks

Some more location shots with the cars from 'Villain' have come to light...









Probably the first appearance in a film of the new Mk3 Cortina, this scene was shot in September / October 1970...

I doubt it was ever fitted but I've posed the question in the Radford thread on the Mk1 Performance Mini forum, one of the regulars on there knows the car very well

Meanwhile, does anyone know what the two door coupe is that Mick Jagger is getting into in 1969...?

Abbey Road album cover conspiracy theory, that Macca had already been killed in a car accident.

P5J, the stuff you just posted on the Good Numbers thread are worthy of this thread as well
