This one has a registration tag from 1974 on it so it is at least that old. The Dunelt I had as kid was a '53 or '54 model and did not have the white fender tip, but it did have nifty gold pen striping on the fenders. I understand that the white fender became a legal requirement over there about 1960. It is another of those silly laws, do you think someone who misses the reflector is going to notice a bit of white paint? I admit however the white fender tip does give it an old world look.
