The famed psychedelic Wings tour bus that housed rock legend Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, his family and the band is heading for auction next week.
The names of the band and tour details are displayed on the bus - and will continue to be allowed to because the display rights pass to the new owners McCartney formed the Anglo-American band along with his wide Linda, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine in 1971. The rock band came together a year after The Beatles broke up in 1970 and it was the first time touring for McCartney since '66
As well as the perfectly recreated Geoffrey Cleghorn's exterior artwork, the interior has been perfectly restored to the era's atmosphere by David Hoare of Chepstow Classic Buses and Bradley Earl of Simon Morris Thorpe Ltd in Essex. The bus is a 1953 Bristol which was first used in the early '50's for Chelmsford bus routes as a closed upper deck bus before being converted to an open-top bus in '66 to take holiday-makers to and from Butlins
Wings' drummer Denny Seiwell has even donated his 1972 Wings touring trunk which accompanies the bus. McCartney said in an interview: 'We knew we were going to tour in Europe and that the weather would be nice, and the idea of being stuck in a bus all the time, going from city to city, hotel to hotel, wasn't too appealing so we decided to travel around in an open-top bus and get some sunshine as we travelled from one place to another.'
