This 'garage found' 1965 Austin Mini Cooper Radford was once the
property of Beatles manager Brian Epstein.
The car may be the only unrestored example with Beatles connections.
After Epstein’s ownership, the Mini passed on to George Harrison’s
brother, Peter Harrison, who kept it until December 1971, suggesting
that the Beatles probably came into contact with the car.
The Mini by Coys at their traditional Blenheim Palace sale this
Saturday 29 June. It is estimated at £18,000 to £22,000.
Chris Routledge, Managing Director of Coys, said: 'The Blenheim sale
has attracted some very high profile cars and presents an extraordinary
opportunity for collectors to own significant pieces of Royal history,
the Beatles past or the psychedelic movement of the '60s.'
