"I have a B&W photo of UL 4471 parked (I think in Princes Street, Edinburgh in the 1950s). I recall dad was friendly with a gentleman called Selby Howgate from Edinburgh, so it may have been his car. The only other name I can recall from that time was, I think, a Gerald Meade, but he may have been English?"
