Ringo Starr: 1966 Hooper Mini
Ringo also joined his Beatle comrades and bought his Mini off his band manager Brian Epstein.
Since Epstein was a loyal customer of the same coachbuilder as Peter Sellers, it's probable that Starr's car was also rebuilt by Hooper. However, Radford was commissioned once again so the car could squeeze in Starr's drum kit.
Paul McCartney: 1965 Radford Mini Cooper S
McCartney, like the rest of the band, was a Mini fan and went to extraordinary lengths to ensure his car stood out from the rest of the celebrity pack. His Mini got the Radford treatment too, but McCartney went much further adding rear lamps from an Aston Martin and painting it in an exclusive Aston metallic shade of green.
He also added a black leather interior, big sunroof and had state-of-the-art halogen lamps.
