Dear Leah,

please follow this link and you will find a picture of the Bentley Lennon owned in 1965 with the license plate you mention: http://www.auto.sk/spravy/?clanok=146
The car was designed with gold, green, red and blue
patterns. The "222 APL" license plate come from the famous "Apple" registration. And you are absolutely right, it has a reference in the song "No bed for Beatle John".
