The former limousine used by the Beatles in the mid-1960’s, is now currently owned by Rod Pitman of Portland Oregon, who reports that it was stolen in 1983 in Arizona and has been missing since then. It may have sighted in 2007 at a local classic car show, near Pittsburgh, PA.
The details of the car are as follows: 1965 Austin Vanden Plas Princess Saloon, UK Registration Mark FGO 586C, Serial number VDM4 16087.
Pitman, Executive Producer of Hempsters, recalls the first Beatles 45 record he owned was “When the Saints Go Marching In”. He’s been an avid Beatles fan ever since and wanted to purchase a piece of Beatles history when he bought the Princess Saloon more than two decades ago with plans to restore it.
If you think you might know the current whereabouts of this former Beatle’s-owned Austin Vanden Plas limo, email: car {at} rocknrollcars {dot} com. There’s a reward offered.

Here’s a photocopy of the original UK Registration Book, provided by Rod Pitman, Portland Oregon, including the signature of Brian Epstein, showing that the Beatles LTD, London, were the new owners of the car on Sept. 15, 1966:

We’re launching a global search for a car that was previously owned by the Beatles. Current owner Rod Pitman of Portland, Oregon last saw the vehicle over 23 years ago, when it disappeared in Arizona. He ran into one roadblock after another trying to track down and retrieve his car, then finally gave up his search. Until now.
We’re on a mission to try to help Rod relocate his car and bring it back. Can you help? His goal: To restore the Princess to it’s original condition as it was when the Beatles used it as their personal limousine in the mid-1960’s. He’s willing to offer a reward too. Contact us at: car {at} rocknrollcars {dot} com if you have any information, sightings or leads that may help solve this case.
Here are the details: 1965 Austin Vanden Plas Princess Saloon UK Registration Mark FGO 586C with a serial number of VDM4 16087. Rod Pitman, owner.
A possible lead in the case: the car may have been last seen at a classic car show on July 7, 2007 in New Castle, PA in front of Eat n Park (just outside of Pittsburgh). Here’s a screen shot and closeup taken from a video of the event:
