We actually restored Graham Nash's MKII.  It is a rare black and gold machine 
which had been left standing in water for about 30 years.  John took it upon 
himself to play with fire and turned it on despite the state of everything and 
it ran for about two minutes and then died.  Unbelievable.  It now lives in 
California in sumptuous surroundings.
