truth and beauty Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 "Obviously his fame will rest principally on his legendary associations during the 1960s with the Yardbirds" . OK .. right.. Quote
SteveAJones Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Jimmy purchased a Cord 810 while on tour in Los Angeles in 1970; this is almost certainly that car. Quote

Driver8 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 The most recent owner reports that today's Cord Phaeton was the recipient of a concours standard restoration while in Jimmy Page's hands some ten or twenty years ago, and the current condition argues forcefully that the work must indeed have been to a more than ordinarily high standard, and the car subsequently meticulously kept while he had it, and even more so during its most recent decade in other equally dedicated hands of its former keeper Duncan Bannatyne; entrepreneur and 'Dragon' from BBC TVs Dragon's Den. http://www.prewarcar.com/classifieds/ad61001.html Quote
