Yes,I remember that photo.

What was the exact story that goes with it ?
Am I mistaken by saying that Mick didn't drive that car for a very long while when the "accident" happened ?

I don't know the full story, I think the accident happened around August 1966 and that's Chrissie Shrimpton in the passenger seat.

Here it is !
You're right,it 66.

September 28, 1966: Mick Jagger and Chrissie Shrimpton narrowly escape injury when Mick’s 25,000 midnight-blue Aston Martin DB6 was involved in a collision with a Ford Anglia belonging to the Countess of Carlisle in central London, near his Marylebone flat. No one was hurt, but Jagger was none too happy: “I only bought the car three months ago,” he said. “The damage is going to cost about 200 pounds.”

Geez, I would have gotten really mad if I had broken my Aston Martin 3 months after I bought it.
I would have had gotten mad anyway if I had broken my Aston Martin at any times .

I'm still going with August, the story was printed in the September 2 1966 edition of NME and Karnbach has it on August 25 with the damage being £700!
Whatever the date, still very annoying!

I wonder if he got her phone number ?

great car songs/songs about driving:

Blondie - Rapture (not only about cars but the rap mentions several cars)
Clash - Brand new cadillac
Christopher Cross - Ride like the wind
Deep Purple - Highway star

I've heard about the ones above.

Not to forget :
Maybellene /Chuck Berry

That's mine. Always ready for a ride (on my desk)

Yes,kowalski,this car was so "avant-gardiste " (cutting edge ? modern for its age ? how do you say that ? )

Dinky Toys did you say ?

Not sure which model this is. Probably a somewhat expensive model, allthough tiny

My cars are all Stones related to varying degrees (by accident as opposed to design)

1) Diesel Golf
VW Sponsored a Stones tour and this is the only one of my cars to have had a Stone in it!



2) 1957 MGA
Named Ruby, Bill had the later MGB model



3) Aston Martin V8 Vantage
As yet unnamed (suggestions welcome), a much younger model of Mick's famous car.

Another typical example of the aristocracy shamelessly flaunting their ill-gotten wealth. Had they not learnt the lessons of the French and Russian revolutions?

Formerly owned by Rolling Stone Mick Jagger. Property of the Peter Black Car Collection

FORD GALAXIE 500 CONVERTIBLE

Year: 1964
Chassis No. 47 OA 88 1 RO 78808
Engine No. T.B.A.
Light blue with dark blue vinyl interior

Engine: V8, 390ci, 300bhp at 4,600rpm; Gearbox: three speed automatic; Brakes: four wheel drum; Suspension: front, independent, rear, live axle. Right hand drive.

Model history

Ford introduced the Galaxie in 1959. It was always a model which was offered in a variety of configurations, ranging from Sedans and Country Squire Wagons to Convertibles and even with removable hard tops, as well as a host of optional extras from power seats to air conditioning. Along the way the pillarless 'Starliner' styling was added to the range, then different interior trim options as the model came into its own.

Originally, engines ranged from a 200hp 292 cubic inch to a 300hp 352 cubic inch V8, but progressively this was broadened at both ends with a six cylinder 'Mileage Maker' option joining the line up and then increasingly large V8s developed for the car, which would lead it to competitive use.

After two years the model underwent a re-style which was commended with awards from the Centro per L'Alta Moda Italiana, meaning 'functional expression of classic beauty'.

By 1964 when this car was built, the range consisted of 16 bodystyles, the interior was entirely revised and a new grill and panel design arrived.

Specific history of this car

The early history of this Ford Galaxie Convertible is not known, until the late 1970s it is documented as having been purchased by Mick Jagger in 1978.

That same year would see The Stones touring America and the release of their latest album 'Some Girls', with hits such as 'Miss you' and 'Shattered'. While through his ownership of the car, the albums 'Tattoo You' and 'Undercover' were released and in 1982 the group toured Europe.

After 5 years, Jagger sold the car and it was offered as a prize by The Sun Newspaper in the U.K. It was later sold at auction in Leeds in the U.K. when it was purchased for a British Collection where it has remained ever since.

A right hand drive example the Ford is today in presentable order. It has been repainted at some stage, but this now shows some age while the interior is probably the original, and retains its gold beading bands to the seats.

The car is running but not currently U.K. road taxed.

Astorn Martin vs Porsche 911 Carrera

Very well done ,shillid !

Not the kind of car I like,though

Two of my favorite things. Mick Jagger and rusty old MGBs.
