The Radford de Ville Mini Cooper became 16 on September 1965 via BMC dealer Car Mart Ltd. in Ealing (London) was sold to bodywork company Radford and after 'treatment' on November of that year, it was delivered to Brian Epstein Automobiles. This car surfaced a few years ago.
It also traded under the name Brydor Cars in the London suburb of Hounslow. Epstein paid in 1962 record company Decca - which incidentally refused to sign a record deal with The Beatles - for the release of the first gramophone record of the group and became their manager! He was a busy man, because in addition to being a manager of The Beatles, he was also responsible for the success of singer Cilla Black, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas, the less successful Remo Four and The Cyrkle until his death in 1967. . The Mini in question remained in Epstein's name until November 14, 1966, when it was sold to Beatle George's brother Peter Harrison. He kept the trolley with registration number FGO 592C until December 1, 1971. After that the history is a bit vague. What is certain is that this Mini has been stored in a damp shed for at least 15 years, watched by a number of other classics. In any case, it is the oldest known, unrestored car that has a connection with the world's most famous tire of all time.
