This picture sent to me in 1986 from Jersey, showing 8-litre YF5021 in the Jersey Motor Museum.

Obviously the front wings have later been elongated forwards, probably in the late 1930s, when also perhaps the front and rear wing skirts were fitted or extended. The sender writes: "8-litre is Freestone & Webb as chiselled in green marble - magnificent".
