Today I tracked down the 90 odd year old neighbour of the original owner. She gave me the name of the original owners wife who is still alive and in a nursing home. I'll have to try and catch up with her. I'll post some more info on my build page. The car did have dots under window. A lot more info now. The lady said the owner was her neighbour and all her kids used to pile in the taxi and go down to the beach.
