Celebrating the new Lockdown

[Tony Griffiths]

This photo will ring a distant bell in many old A7 lags like myself. I seem to recall that it was published somewhere years ago, perhaps in a Club, A7CA or other book or publication. Afraid I can’t add anything else but maybe someone else recalls the photograph being published, maybe with more detail.

I, too, had seen it somewhere before, but couldn't think where; I've found it - in the Profile Publication on the Austin Seven.

The caption reads:

The Austin Seven was a 'natural' for publicity photos. The girls enter into the spirit of the thing in November 1923, the spirit in question being Pratt's High Test Motor Spirit, predecessor of Esso,

Well remembered. Unfortunately, the picture in the profile is heavily pixilated and does not, as shown below scanned at 2400 d.p.i. and degaussed, reproduce at all well. The original found online must have been from a photograph.
