Footnotes
This mascot was supplied to a very late 20hp car, Chassis No 'GXO.4', coachbuilt by Maddox in 1929, with UK Registration Number 'EW 6234', and first supplied to Mrs E Rainer. Many of these very late 20hp chassis were fitted with the larger 25hp engine and re-numbered with 20/25hp chassis numbers. Four later photos of 'GXO.4' are offered with the lot, however the mascot is not depicted.
