"I have attached two photos of this car when new and registered YR 11. The photo outside Buckingham Palace originally appeared in The Graphic for 3rd August 1929, and the side view in Illustrated Sporting & Dramatic News for 18th May 1929. A further photo appeared in the Daily Mirror for 28th March 1932, showing the car, by then registered GO 5209 (a registration dating from April 1931), following an accident near Esher in Surrey."
