Does that mean their claim that they helped record the
Battle of Hastings is suspect? Come to think of it,
the album cover where William the Conquerer is crossing
Abbey Road and there's a 1068 Morris Minor parked in
the background should have tipped me off.

Hey, you know the VW in the much later Beatles rip-off of that ?

A friend of mine found that on a forecourt in a local garage and bought
it. He later auctioned it. Not sure what he made on the deal. Must ask
sometime.

Quote from the Guardian Newspaper, 1989:-

"The 1968 Volkswagen was sold at a Sotheby's auction three years ago to
an American collector for £2,530. They say it even runs."

Another, more up to date, site says :-
"Later, this car sold in an auction for 23,000 dollars and is now in a
museum"

I believe it's still about somewhere, as it was mentioned in a classic
car magazine a few months back.

Not bad. I think he only paid a few hundred for it. I'll see if Peter knows
it's in a museum now. Didn't say which did it ? He probably saved it for
posterity by recognising the number plate.

Google for LMW 281F.

Opinion favours the VW factory museum.
