BARTON MOTOR CO. LTD. PLYMOUTH, DEVON.

[Old English White]

Does anybody have a car once supplied by this business? Barton Motor Company Ltd. in Plymouth? During a recent clearout I came across this small aluminium plate (it is about 12cms across) once removed from a BMC car. Goodness knows when or what car. A little research on the internet reveals that Bartons were a large and successful BMC dealer. I don't suppose it has much commercial value but if anybody would like it and would like to make a small donation to Mark's running costs fund, I'll be happy to post it to them (UK only!)

Any connection to the 'Barton hardtop' which was a popular accessory for the Mini Moke during the 1960s?
