wow that's fantastic Mark!

I wish it were still possible for Perry Como to still be able to drive around London in it. He was always a firm favourite in our household in my younger years.

In the film it had the registration number Peg 1 but today has it's original plate on,I think he hires it for weddings etc.

Andrew,
In 1989 my family and i went to Portugal for Christmas and in one restaurant they constantly played Perry Como,we ate there 3 nights and it was still the same tape every time,we knew all the words by the time we left!!! Mark

For The Good Times, Mark.

I can still picture the fabulous 70's RCA LP to this day "And I Love You So"
Plus all of the earlier ones of course

What a fantastic Wedding car! Steeped in history. Our eldest son is getting married this year, maybe I should show him and his intended this photograph?

That's wonderful Mark. We used to watch The Perry Como Show every week back in the 50s.
