Indeed. From the photos, assuming they are reasonably contemporary, the original craftsmanship seems to have stood the test of time?

I'm so tempted to make a call to find out about cost, if only to establish just how out of reach it is?

Would make the perfect town car to accompany this little dump currently for sale in Belgravia. :roll:

They had Radfords like Ringo Starr? I thought they just had normal Mini's.. and the specific reason RS had a Radford was so he could get drums in the back? Then again, IIRC didn't McCartney also have a Radford at some stage? (perhaps he needed the bigger boot space for his ego? ).. jk
