Mike, looking at when my dad bought WJ, it was September 1936 as the third owner according to the original log book. He lived about half a mile away from where the photo was taken, off Bramall Lane. The radiator adornment was a globe RAC badge. During the war according to the insurance documents I have he used the car up to October 1940, for 7 months in 1941 and then laid up until July 1945. I remember the white line painted round the edges of the mudguards. Having written all this, the wheels were never painted a light colour. I know because I had the job of painting them black every year from being about 13 and there was never any sign of any colour other than black. The mirror was pretty useless on the wing and it is now attached to the windscreen on my special.
Cheers,
Dave.
