OrchestrasFrom the car-dealer’s sales pitch:
Receipts dating from 1970 reveal 3 owners since that time, one of whom was Zubin Mehta, world famous maestro and music director of the New York Philharmonic from 1978-1991. Documentation includes the original owner’s manual and many receipts and entertaining correspondence with Mr. Mehta.

With right-hand drive, it must have been interesting driving a big car like that in New York or the canyons above Los Angeles.
Don’t forget the owner of the Smart car, in front of the Berlin Philharmonic. Probably owned by a viola player.
My daughter-in-law’s father owned a Bentley – a new one – and, honestly, it looked old-fashioned and I couldn’t see what all the fuss was about.
