George Harrison's Solar mini cooper.

By -



BMW has just unveiled a special George Harrison Mini Cooper that will be up for bidding, with the proceeds set to go to Harrison's own Material World Charitable Foundation, an organization dedicated "the exploration of alternate and diverse forms of artistic expression, life views and philosophies as well as a way to support established charities and people with special needs."

The psychedelic hatchback is actually an homage to George Harrison's "extravagant original" Mini Cooper S, a customized car that was given to the late Beatle by his manager, Brian Epstein back in 1966 (the other members of the Fab Four got one too). The original Harrison Cooper actually starred in the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour movie, and the new one has been designed with the input of Olivia Harrison, George's wife. The keys to the new Cooper will be handed over to Olivia on behalf of the MWCF at MINI United, a three-day festival held in Silverstone from May 22 through 24.
Harrison's first official honour was when The Beatles were appointed Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1965. His last record that was released posthumous was Brainwashed. Track #2 on the album is titled "P2 Vatican Blues (Last Saturday Night)" – 2:38.

That woman, pictured above, came forward today to say she is not Hasna Ait Boulahcen and has no connection to the group o...
