"When Lennon, fresh from the band’s chart-topping success in the States, first decided to splash out on the exclusive motor in 1964, he went for a pretty subtle scheme: Valentine Black with black wheels and a black interior. Apparently he wanted a black grille as well, but that was too far for Rolls, even for a Beatle. Perhaps for a Stone they’d have painted it.
Shipped off to celebrated coachbuilder Mulliner Park Ward, the custom job took several months to complete – enough time for Lennon to pass his driving test and the band to release another album. When it was finished in June 1965, it was pretty extravagant."

And we’re not talking new alloys. We’re talking a double bed instead of a back seat; a radio telephone that occupied most of the boot; built-in record and tape players; hidden loudspeakers that could startle wildlife and Surrey residents alike. All very rock'n'roll – Keith Richards pulled a similar loudspeaker trick with his Bentley – and, in that finest British tradition, rather cheeky."
