The back panel of Lennon's famous psychedelic painted caravan featuring the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" drum logo. The caravan itself was purchased by Lennon in 1967 as a gift for son Julian's fourth birthday. Lennon had the caravan custom painted with a Sgt. Pepper theme by The Fool who also painted his famous psychedelic Rolls Royce in a similar motif. Lennon and family reportedly used the caravan for vacations before it made it's final journey back to the garden of Tittenhurst Park in Ascot where it remained until Lennon's assassination. Starr acquired the caravan and had it fully restored in 1983 by John Pockett. This portion of the caravan features a back window with drape, and the chains that originally held the back gate, but most iconic is the bold Sgt. Pepper logo featured on the back panel. Together with a framed image of the caravan as it was kept at the Starr's English country home in Surrey. Panel: 64 3/4 by 73 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches Photograph: 22 by 32 inches Categories: Ringo Starr
