A huge book about a certain Mr. Crump, who walked the streets of Central London from 1955 up to 1989 with his semi professional Kodak and Leica cameras and made a picture of every Rolls Royce and Bentley motorcar he saw. Having taken the photo, he put the details in a small notebook and went further on his way. When the photos were printed he wrote the details on the back of the pic: date, location, type of RR or Bentley, the camera, the type of film, the lens and exposure.
The Lennon P5 is also an entry in this book:
One is a picture of a Rolls Royce Phantom V, reg # FJB111C, owned by John Winston Lennon, driving out of the underground parking facility of Harrod's, chauffeur Les Antony at the wheel. In those days the Fab 4 had Harrods all to their own between 05:00 and 07:00 pm, after the "ordinary" people were chucked out of the store. This picture shows George Harrison and Paul McCarthey sitting in the back, side view obscured by purdah; but very much visible from the front. The Phantom was all black then, including the bumpers/overriders and hubcaps.
