Chelsea’s answer to John Lennon adapts a Nissan Primera
A recent addition to the streets of Chelsea is a Nissan Primera whose owner plainly took inspiration from John Lennon’s customised Rolls-Royce Phantom V.
Adorned with such comments as: “Brilliant thoughts of beauty, truth, healing and love” and decorated (we believe) by an artist named Jane Radford, this colourful creation is most definitely brightening the streets of SW3.

Blown Out Cheap In Chelsea

The sale of Sir Jimmy Savile’s Rolls-Royce This morning a Rolls-Royce that belonged to Sir Jimmy Savile will be sold by auctioneers Dreweatts. The car, a 2002 last-of-line Corniche, was purchased by Savile in 2007 and is finished in Silver Ghost with Cotswold cream leather seating with blue piping. Savile personalised the car […]
Like it or loathe it, we think Ms Radford should try and sell the car to Charles Saatchi. Maybe, just maybe it’d cheer ‘The Throttler’ up if he were to kick down on this beast’s accelerator and hit the road.

My flowering life car (illustrated above) was stolen approx 2 months ago after much petrol was stolen and was taken out by joy riders almost , well yes I’d say everytime I parked it for more than 5 minutes. How cynical and dark the world is that people would do that and no one with all the private and public CCTV cameras of RBKC filiming alll day and night that no one told me. You’d say, rightly the world has gone to hell. I never received any response to my previous email saying that I did give any permission nor was I present and I was not – when the above photo was taken. Who are you??? I’d say all the f*****s of Zugger, Zugite and this whole masonic dump creational universe of b******s who are so cold they might as well be automatums will never get a human incarnation ever again. They have gone to Hell. [EDITED DUE TO PROFANITY, THE REMAINDER OF THIS POST REMAINS]
These images were captured on the public highroad. Whomever decorated it – and we presumed correctly that that was you – plainly wanted to attract attention and we documented it as such.
What are you ranting about? The article is funny.
Sorry you had your car and petrol stolen. Have you now got it back?
You sound like Nathalie Pulford – the Bercow basher. Those who seek out attention (as you have done by painting your car in such a bizarre scheme) and then don’t like it when they get it, really should learn to think first. If you want not to be noticed, don’t paint your car… or take the bus.
Very funny….so insane she should never be allowed to drive and Matthew I demand you show us the edit. I bet it was funny!
Another Chelsea eccentric. Bonkers but the car should be in a gallery. Matthew: you are right. Jane: cheer up me dear.
I’ve seen this car on the Kings Road before now. God help anyone who gets in the way of its driver.
Calm down Jane or just go paint another car.
I’ve just read this article about me and my Nissan primera and its fine. I don’t know who hacked into my email and wrote the above but it wasn’t me. I have 22 years clean driving record and decorated the car as a bit of fun really, after someone scratched it the day after I bought it from Nyetimber in Chichester. It was parked well in a residents bay outside my home in Drayton Gardens SW10. I had some iridescent navy blue nail varnish in my bag, painted over the scratch and made a little flower at the end…. the rest happened over the next month or so. Sadly, the car was stolen 3 and half months later on September 23rd 2013. I did have fun driving it. Janie
The last post appeared six months ago. Why now? I’m all for recycling that this is silly.
