My historic newspaper searches have been restricted to the "Manchester Guardian "which was a major national UK paper but somewhat Manchester orientated hence the name! ( Trafford Park as I'm sure you are aware is an industrial estate in Manchester.) In later years the newspaper dropped the " Manchester " bit and became simply "The Guardian" which still exists.
PS D'you think they put the sidelights on these very early show-cars when they arrived in the UK?- I wonder if they had time to wire them up for the show or if they were just screwed in in haste!
