Woodyatt Motors, Southend, on a '34 RP
P H Vickery Ltd, Invercargill, NZ, on a '29 RK
Rippon Bros., Brentwood, on a '33 RP
Rippon's are on the list, but I don't know whether the others were official Austin dealers.
Woddyatt are in the publication but in WestCliffe-on-Sea, so they may have moved see if they are in the 1932 publication.
P H Vickery NZ are listed in the 1936 Austin Magazine. It is interesting that Vickery is a transfer not a badge I wonder how many have been painted over during a restoration.
I suppose at some stage there needs to be a distinction between Austin Dealers and other Dealers e.g. Ford who sold Austin’s as well, it is in hand but will take time.
For those with a Charles Clark car this is an interesting read with images.
