Jeff,
Thank you, that's very helpful indeed. I wasn't aware of the Locate Family website. I will send off a couple of letters and see what response I get. I would think they are very likely to be descendants.
I had seen that lovely Getty Images picture, that's why I'm keen to know if it's the same trader as Jubilee Garage. There is a signature against the change of owner in the log book - impossible to make out but it doesn't look like Davies. I really need someone with local knowledge and a good memory!
Tantalizingly my brother came close to knowing more in the 1970s. He was driving the Ruby through St.Albans when a car pulled up alongside him at the traffic lights. The driver leaned across and shouted that he "used to own that very car" when he lived in London. With that the lights changed and off he went!
Peter.
