Default At last a Rover 75 in a film

Just watched the film 'Yesterday' about a musician that wakes from a coma and loves the Beatles , however the world has never heard of them so he is able to pass off their songs as his own . Later in the film he meets a lady who remembers their songs and gives him an address of someone he needs to talk to. We eventually see the shot of a Royal Blue Rover 75 taxi making it's way to the address where John Lennon as an older man is quietly living.

That's some taxi ride !

I have watched this film and when John Lennon opens the door the hair on the back of my neck stood up.

Having visited both Paul McCartney's and John Lennon's houses earlier this year , when he opens the door , I had a shock then a lump in my throat .

Watched the Golden Years yesterday to pass some time. Pity the car appears to be untaxed and out of mot so probably gone to meet its maker.
