OK British car folk, who can identify:

The car with the driver?

The driver?

The "net" holding her hair?

The photo was made during WW2. Why is the driver looking so smug?

That's a Baby Austin.

A US-built "Bantam" version fo the Seven, I believe.

Edit: maybe smug because her gas coupon goes further than the other tanks in the photo.

WE HAVE A WINNAH!

Yep - Joan Davis, in her Austin. She'd park next to giant American cars, and brag that she carried extra gas in her purse, and could fill the tank with an eye dropper.
