Yep, Roger Daltrey. Looks like it was a Jensen car, had a colour change between May & Nov '66. Tax due Mar '83, V5 issued Apr '87 - hopefully it didn't go to the breakers before it got old...

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Pale yellow was quite popular back then.
I did 2 cars in Primrose yellow and carried that onto my 911 to in Champagne Yellow, a 356 colour.

My father in law did that route as far as Shiraz in the mid 70s in a held-together-with-riveted-on-biscuit-tin VW camper. Even then it was apparently mega sketchy with lots of bribes / arrests / running from bandits etc.
