Who was this lady?

What did she achieve at Shelsley Walsh?

What's the tenuous association with a former Manchester Zoo?

Ok, I'm guessing that the lady pictured is Doreen Evans, who in 1935, broke the women's record at Shelsley Walsh in a time of 42.4 seconds in an MG R-type



The tenuous link is that she drove for Bellevue Garages in London who sort of shared the name with Belle Vue in Manchester which was the site of a zoological park and gardens.

I didn't get who drew the cartoon or where it was published but I did realise there were both the MG Y and the Midget body shell in it.
