Urm... no. That was David Hamilton. <shudder> David Bailey was a 1960s
photographer, probably most famous for his fashion work with Jean
Crimpton (Shrimpton?). The work was notable because it was done in the
street with small format (Pentax Spotmatics I think). Bailey in his
later years did a Pirelli calendar with OM gear and was pretty much
associated with Olympus.

BTW what's a SUV?
