I have aquired a chromed vehicle bonnet badge with the name:

'Martin-Harper Front Wheel Drive'

I can find no reference to a vehicle this might have originated from. It is 11 1/2" wide so might possibly have come from a commercial of some sort.
Can any of the Classic Car collective shed any light on this please?

Thanks

Phil

I Googled it, the answer is the sixth and seventh links.

Via google I found this,...

It mentions a truck fitted with a" Martin Harper transfer box and front wheel drive.

Also this mentions the same thing.

Great, thanks.
So it seems to be a comercial transmission conversion from the fifties.
