Corgi VA02531 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk1 – Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney’s Mini was modified by legendary coachbuilder Radford. Paul, well known as a fan of Aston Martins, had the car finished in Aston Martin California Sage Green Metallic with DB5 rear lights. The interior was trimmed in black leather and had a Webasto-style fold back canvas roof, a popular extra at the time. One day in early 1967, Paul, his assistant Alistair Taylor, and Paul’s sheepdog Martha climbed into the car and drove to Primrose Hill where they saw a strange man wandering around. This was later Paul’s inspiration for the song ‘The Fool on the Hill’.
