"His 21st birthday party was a lavish affair and he counted Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Paul McCartney and his brother Mike, gallery owner Robert Fraser and John Paul Getty among his friends. He was a sufficiently large influence on Keith Richards and John Paul Getty that both would name sons after Tara.
He was seen with a string of girlfriends including Amanda Lear, who was rumoured to have been born a man, and Suki Potier. Tara was with Amanda Lear in Paris when he introduced her to the artist Salvador Dali and she would go on to be his muse for the rest of his life. I have often wondered if the Paul McCartney painting entitled ?Tara?s plastic skirt? is a veiled reference to Amanda Lear and her rumoured sex change operation.
He was photographed with Suki Potier at his 21st birthday party, alongside Brian Jones, and she would go on to date the Rolling Stones man after Tara?s death and was living with him when he died in 1969. Suki was with Tara at the time of his death and was the passenger in his Lotus. According to her, Browne tried to avoid a car coming straight at him. He swerved to avoid it and crashed into another one trying to save her. Potier claimed Browne was not going particularly fast when he drove down Earls Court Road into Redcliffe Gardens, but independent witnesses at the inquest suggested otherwise and their testimony would appear to be borne out by pictures of the crumpled bonnet and torn-off roof of the sports car.
Little has been made about the occupant of the ?other car? but I wonder if it may have been a certain Paul McCartney? Suki escaped unhurt but would go on to be killed in a car crash in 1981 with her then husband Robert Ho. It is rumoured she forced the car to swerve over a ravine after her husband asked her for a divorce. Tara is known to have experimented with LSD and it has been claimed that he and McCartney had been taking it on the night of his death. Tara was also with Paul McCartney one night around Christmas 1965 when the Beatle was involved in a motorcycle accident and chipped a tooth."

I'm trying to retrace my steps in this forum. I also believe Paul McCartney was tied to this somehow. The "Paul is Dead" community believe he died in the fall of 1966. He was driving his dark green Austin Healey, which was supposedly rebuilt. He also had a light green Aston Martin. I found an image of an earlier Lotus Elan on this forum and inquired about it. The poster of the intact light colored Lotus Elan before it had been demolished by Tara. This poster had access of auto licensing information and said the Paul McCartney did indeed own that model prior to 66. I'm only speculating here, but most mentions of McCartney dying are posted with this picture of the Lotus Elan as the car he died in. Some of the clues in music videos show a "White" car as was supposedly a hint to that car. My speculation is that these young guys were all getting fired up about these expensive race cars and in their circles, they may have traded cars or even borrowed them to test drive. I guess that easy to do when you own 3-4 cars. From articles, McCartney had owned at least four different cars before he was 24.
I'm trying to find the thread that I exchanged information with the other poster showing the photo of an intact car and that he had knowledge that the Lotus Elan had belonged to Paul at one time.
In the "Day in the Life",....the lyric that says "nobody was sure if he was from the house of Lords"....had been suggested that in trading or buying cars for Tara, that the license was possibly in Tara's father's name when they were trying to identify the owner of the wrecked Lotus. There are some gaps in this theory.....but some of it does make sense. I don't think we will ever know what John Lennon meant in the lyrics "well I just had to laugh."
The irony? Both Paul and Tara dying in car accidents within a few months of each other. All speculation.
