Hi All
Further to above Chris Garner kindly lent me a copy of Austin Publication 1388 Austin Dealers 1936. As others have pointed out the book is alphabetical by town/city so is a bit of a pain trying to find all Dealers in one county. So I have currently set my self the task of extracting the information so that it can be searched electronically and sorted in to registration Issuing Authority.
At bit of a task but nearly completed extracting the information then just need to work out were all these towns are. The next plan is to over time research the Dealers and add in some information on the Dealer, I have already started this part and have quite a bit of info on a number of the Dealers. I would also like to add to this images of the Dealers Badge have one at the moment for "Carrs".
Once completed I'll post a link so all can access, and probably tell me were I have gone wrong so it can be updated.
Hopefully Austin owners will be happy to share information and I'll collate.
Publication 1338 contains over 1000 Dealers, I am at the moment not convinced they all are Dealers and some just serviced but happy to be corrected.
So please can you pass me any information you have on Dealers and any evidence of a specific Dealer selling Austin Cars and not just servicing, or wait until the first draft is done, should be in a couple of weeks, and then see if you can fill in any gaps.
Thanks
Douglas
