Hi all thanks for the support and I hope you enjoyed the list of Dealers, I am sure there’re some typos in the list and will correct as soon as spotted. I have uploaded the Dealers Badges in to a folder in the gallery. The list bar any typos is as Austin believed it to be in 1936. I believe the Publication was issued yearly, if you have a different year and can lend it to me I’ll incorporate it so we can see the changes over the years that would be great. I would like to preserve the list of Dealers exactly as the publication but will think of a way of adding Dealers not in the publication.
Nigel thanks for the additional Dealers but they are not listed in 1936, will add some how but note as not in the publication, they may be there in different years.
A different Nigel has advised me that there where a lot more than the 2 on the IOW listed, so will see how to incorporate.
Chris Garner has pointed out that Carlton Motors in Nottingham Buxton Rd, that it is Buxton Ave. So either an error in the publication or there was a Buxton Rd but has disappeared. I checked a 1947 map and can only see Buxton Ave. It may be wrong but would prefer to leave as Ave and see what other publications have as the address or add a note that the address may be wrong. Chris also pointed out a typo in the spelling of Hucknall which will be corrected in the next update.
I have still not worked out who sold our Bournemouth reg car despite having the original listing in the Authorities Archive (not the best hand writing) but I guess I may need the publication for that year.
There are a lot of Dealers Badges on eBay prices range from £20 to £200, as the images are the sellers I have asked a number of the sellers if I can use their images 9 out of 10 said yes so have a lot more badges. Some Dealers Badges are not in the Publication but as they may appear in other years so will keep images for later. Badges that I have seen images of but not got permission to use I’ll add the text from the badge.
Thanks.
