Here we have a late-1930 RL saloon; note the fitment of privacy glass to the rear windows!

I find it strange of how many photos were taken with "models" sitting on top of our Austins. Even a 7 was considered a car for the "well off " and to place an adult atop of the bonnet seems quite reckless.

it's a practice that has died due to the increasing size of the models AND the bonnets. I worry about the bodywork trodden on to get there. Perhaps they were given a 'leg up' over the radiator.

Looks like she’s draped the picnic blanket over the bonnet to save scratching the paint!

I think she is one of those “Fast” ladies as she requires privacy curtains the back.
Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.

Good job it wasn't that sylph like Essex lass Gemma Collins sitting on it or it would look a bit sad.
