We love the infectious smile on the face of today's lady and we suspect she may have parked beside the sea? She enjoys the breeze in her hair and the smell of the sea in the air. Perhaps she will buy an ice cream before throwing off her sandals and socks and going for a paddle.
Her pretty summer frock is long enough to get a bit wet, but she doesn't care - she's on holiday and the hot sun will soon dry it.
We have tried to accurately identify the car for you and have so far thought it's a late thirties Renault, but the sun is beating down, the warm summer breeze is blowing through the open office window, so we're off to buy an ice cream and hope you will tell us if we're right about the car?
