Let's have a look at yet another celebrity owned coachbuilt Mini that appears to have gone up in thin air: Mick Jagger's 1967 Austin Cooper 'S'. It's a car, which received the Wood & Pickett treatment in 1967. Oddly there aren't any photographs of Jagger with the car showing the registration but the Mini is widely believed to have been 'OGO 668E'. It was painted black (ha!) or a very dark colour and apart from the usual W&P bells and whistles came with full Webasto roof, shadowlite glass and chrome trim on its sides not seen very often.

There's a well-known picture of the car being parked outside Wood & Pickett's premises and I happen to have another shot of the same car at the same place. The only few pictures of Jagger with the car were taken on 18 April 1967 when he arrived at London Heathrow from Athens, but these don't show very much of the vehicle. Then there's a number of photos taken on 1 August '67 taken outside the law courts in London where Jagger was heard for drug possession, but these only show his girlfriend Marianne Faithfull with the car. It is believed to be Jagger's but that's not confirmed and again there's no plate visible. Have a look at the pictures below and let me know if I missed out on anything here.

And yet another with the same chrome side strips. Plus shadowlite glass, wing mirrors, Webasto...
This one comes with more modifications though, including deseaming and rectangular headlights. Jagger's car in a later stage, made to look like a Mk2 and re-registered..? Who can tell..?
