Reliant Robin, 1973. Reliants 750cc OHV 4 cylinder engine did find a home in their 3 wheeler which was also the work of Ogle Design. Arriving simultaneously with the 1970s fuel crisis did wonders for the Robin's popularity. At its peak it was the number 2 selling car in the UK for a time and, thanks to a 30 year production run, became the second-most popular fibreglass car in history behind the Chevrolet Corvette.

Linda McCartney & Cinnamon, 1973.

“ When Linda was a child, a lot of her friends were bought horses by their parents and every Christmas morning she used to look out of her bedroom window and pray there would be a horse on the lawn, with a bow round its neck. But her father was never going to do that. It wasn't his thing. When we got married, and she told me all these stories, I thought, 'Right, I'm going to be the first person to buy her a horse. She already had one named Cinnamon and loved it, but when she saw Lucky Spot she was crazy for him. “

— Paul McCartney

"A shoe-less Lennon opened the door and ushered me into a large sitting room.  He was on the telephone to his son Julian and gestured for me to sit on the sofa alongside. After telling Julian he had to go since "there's a fella here come to take me picture," he asked if I didn't mind if we watched the telly for a bit first. The program John was most interested in was a live transmission of Queen Elizabeth's daughter Anne's marriage to Captain Mark Phillips at Westminster Cathedral in London. Sitting alongside John Lennon with our feet up on the coffee table watching the then shaky live pictures on the TV it was a far cry from the madness of Beatlemania. After about ten minutes he said, "come on, do you fancy a cup of real English tea?" after an enthusiastic yes on my part he said "then we can get these daft 'happy-snaps' out of the way."  What a joy."
