“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef

I ranted about this car in another thread. There's little to no Keith DNA in that car. It's been overly restored.

Proof that there's nothing original about the car:

'Blue Lena' was delivered to EAS's workshop on the back of a recovery truck, having been sitting in a lock-up for many years, partially dismantled and stripped of its paintwork. The body had to be extensively rebuilt, requiring many new panels due to the accidents it had been involved in while in Keith's ownership. Had the car not been so famous it might well have been scrapped, but the owner rightly insisted that it was a piece of history and should be made good again.

The search for missing or unobtainable parts would delay the project's completion for several years; the original beige leather was no longer listed so Connolly was commissioned to make a special batch; new darkened glass had to be made as the old windows were too scratched to use; and a new rear screen had to be made as heated ones were no longer available. Wing sections, door panels and boot sections were all hand crafted and made to fit, while all the mechanicals were overhauled and the engine rebuilt with no expense spared. EAS's detailed invoices are in the history file (inspection recommended).

After five years of restoration, 'Blue Lena' is now in splendid condition once again, a gallant survivor of its years in the hands of one of the all-time gods of Rock 'n Roll.

All new seats, windows, paint. No Keith patina at all.
