The image of Sellers and Britt Ekland buzzing around Mayfair in the ‘Swinging Sixties’ in this little white Elan is too good not to be shared with friends at the pub on a sunny Sunday morning. The car was delivered to Perter Sellers at 37 Panton St, Haymarket on the 22nd. of July 1966.<\/p>\n
He was a legendary actor and comedian as well as being a talented singer, director and photographer, who sadly passed away in 1980. In terms of acting and comedy, he is regarded as being in the top 50 in the world at both – ever.<\/p>\n
