Happy New Year to all at A7F, and thanks for sharing the picture Tony.

I say those girls look a little racey. Happy new year.
John Mason.

Ah, I've just twigged that her ears/ wings say "Pratts Spirit".
RE: From Prewar Car - Tony Griffiths - 01-01-2024
That's the highest-resolution copy I've seen of that image - thanks for posting it. Let's jazz it up a little.

I can't find my copy of the Profile publication on the Austin Seven, but I'm pretty sure this illustration appeared in it with a caption that explained the Pratts Spirits connection.
RE: From Prewar Car - Steve Jones - 01-01-2024
It does, Mike. The caption reads:
'The Austin Seven was a 'natural' for publicity. The girls enter into the spirit of things in November 1923, the spirit in question being Pratt's High Test Motor Spirit, predecessor of Esso.'

Click on the colour image and the word "Pratts" is now a little clearer.

She can sit on my bonnet anytime
RE: From Prewar Car - Steve Jones - 01-01-2024
Are you sure, Alan? We know the photo was taken in 1923 so if she was still about she'd be around 120 years old. Think of the health and saftety implications. Of course, she might have a Great, Great Grandaughter..........
