Towards the end of July, 1967. John Lennon was off in Greece buying an island, and so not present for the delivery of the psychedelic caravan to Kenwood, Weybridge..
"During the making of Sergeant Pepper John decided to have the Rolls-Royce painted. Colour and design were of the utmost priority and he employed a firm of barge and caravan designers to do it for him. The idea came to him when he bought an old gypsy caravan for the garden." Cynthia Lennon, from her book, "A Twist of Lennon"
