He was on his way to inspect a wall mural the same guys were painting on the side of a fashion store he co-owned. He was 21.
There is footage of the 289 being driven around London with that GYK number plate on the front of the car, which looks rather home made, but no plate on the rear! Maybe designed to 'confuse' the local constabulary? Who knows?

"He blew his mind out in a car, he hadn't noticed that the lights had changed.." is thought to be Sir Paul's reference to his then friend Tara

Aw c'mon, everyone knows Paul died while driving his Healey:


"The story goes that at 5am on Wednesday 9 November 1966, McCartney stormed out of a session for the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, got in to his Austin Healey car, and subsequently crashed and died."
