Pedal to the Metal
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Neither. 
There was an after-the-war pic on a Bristol site with several cars to be named. One had only a partial rear view as it was in front of a lorry. Research found it to be a Standard Pennant and I found this pic to post.

Re: Pedal to the Metal
A tail-finned (with optional two-tone paint schemes) version of the Ten, the Standard Pennant was launched in October 1957. Engine power was increased to 37 bhp and an overdrive gearbox was offered as an option. other options included a radio, heater, leather upholstery and clutchless 2-pedal control. Indian-produced Pennants were branded as "Standard 10", and lacked any bootlid trim other than the branding.
A Pennant tested by British magazine The Motor in 1958 had a top speed of 70.2 mph (113.0 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 35.3 seconds. A fuel consumption of 40.2 miles per imperial gallon (7.03 L/100 km; 33.5 mpg‑US) was recorded. The test car cost £728 including taxes of £243
