It was reported that his Rolls-Royce Phantom V was painted with a matt black overall, which included the radiator and chrome trim." Also "On December 21, 1965, John ordered a Sterno Radio Telephone and the number WEYBRIDGE 46676 assigned to it. In 1966, the car had the rear seat modified to convert to a double bed. A custom interior/exterior sound system was installed along with a "loud hailer."" Then in May 1967 it was painted in the famous psychedelic scheme which was inspired by the livery of a gypsy caravan. (from http://beatles.ncf.ca/rolls.html). Although various Beatle websites are not totally consistent, this car seems never to have been painted white, so is not the EUC 100C or EUC 1000 Phantom associated with Lennon/Apple /images/320/545.jpg.
