The car John Entwistle commissioned the conversion of into a shooting brake was a 1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II. The coachbuilder is not known but it is suspected that it could have been FLM (Panelcraft) Limited of South London. A friend of the star, rock journalist Lesley Ann Jones, recalled a conversation about the vehicle’s original colour – it is now in brown – in a 2007 article in the Mail Online:
“I had never seen a Rolls-Royce that shade of green before, I told him. ‘Neither has anyone’, said John. ‘I took a Harrods carrier bag to the bodyshop when I bought the car, and told the paint sprayer to match it’”.
And I suppose, for the average band it would carry a good part of the gear to the gig!
