Looks like a greyhound mascot. Only other view is this blurry horror:

Wild speculative punt - it's this 1934 16/80 DPD 40, chassis L358?? (if so, it's a tribute to random googling, not learned expertise :sun: )

I also think dsl is spot on. Every detail seems to match, including the little light on the front fender:

Additionally, I found this shot of the plate which, while tiny, certainly looks like DPD 40:

Correction - it's Nov 1935 car, started as the factory demonstrator. So did DPD 39, a blue 16/66 Four Seat Tourer.
