Flutes
Note the flutes on the bonnet!
No. 1 MT Co* consisted apparently of FANY members who carried patches on their ATS-style uniforms: “Women’s Transport Service FANY”, as depicted in a photo I have with a L/cpl instructor. It seems that the FANY personnel attached to the ATS were full members of the ATS, yet it seems an anomlay post-April 1941 when the ATS were given equal military status with men's services, yet FANY was civilian. It would appear that FANY members in the ATS became ATS personnel but retained their FANY loyalties, etc. *At some stage there was another Training Centre set up in Edinburgh apparently.

Maybe you could enqire about the ATS insignia with Honeysuckle from 'Foyles war' ...she would be qualified .. she holds a degree in something or other and she does like driving around in that Wolesley . That plum accent of hers gets me in ... definately not a East end dialect . Mike

Wolseley
I gathered from online comments that the car is in fact a 1946 or other post-war car, tricked-up to look like a pre-war version. I have a 1939 Wolseley advert with a printed photo of a car identical to that of the trainer car but of course there is no model description!
It does seem from blowing up photos that the L/Cpls and presumably Corporals were from the FANY.
