Based on the background, I think it's Shelsley Walsh. Dorothy Stanley-Turner ran an MG there at the September 1937 meeting. Other ladies mentioned in the Motor Sport report are Kay Petre (obviously not her!), Mrs Bolster (née Skinner - not her either!), Joan Richmond (no, again) and - my suggestion - Marjorie Eccles.

I'm not sure if it's Marjorie Eccles. The woman on the left in the original picture has a centre or right-hand parting in her hair, whereas Marjorie Eccles has a left-hand parting with thicker hair. Also she appears to be a fair bit more robust in stature! I think it could be Joan Richmond, in a less formal situation than a posed photo.She has shorter, finer hair (looking a bit wind-swept in this case) and is more slender in build.

I always enjoy looking through the "seeking information about a picture" forum and, just by chance came across the picture forwarded by Sam Christie/Ted Hack at the start of this topic. The photo appears in "Fast Ladies, 1880 - 1970" by Jean Francois Bouzanquet. On p89 it shows the same photo with the caption: "Dorothy Stanley Turner with Yvonne Morel at Chrystal Palace in front of their MG, 11.August 1938. (JFB collection).
But, I cannot answer Mike's question above, "who is the (lucky) mechanic"! |
