See Homepage. | This page: One-time Morris cars dealership in Plymouth |
Former Morris car agents, Mutley Plain, Plymouth.
The advert alongside was found in a 1930s magazine showing Bartons in its heyday. |
In 2008 Lisa got in touch. She found this page while researching the history of her classic Mini, and had this to say: |
"I've just discovered from British Motor Heritage that my 1968 Morris Mini was delivered to the Barton Motor Company in Mutley Plain Plymouth. I had looked through your fantastic website before but had never imagined that a guy in Axminster would go all the way to Plymouth to buy a car, surely there was a closer Morris dealer?! |
Once I'd made my discovery, I couldn't believe my luck when I found some great pics of this BMC dealer building on your site and it still exists! It would be really great to know when it ceased to be a BMC/Leyland/Austin-Morris dealer, and just what happened to all the vehicle sales records. My car was sold from this dealer and registered on 13 June 1968 (the day after I was born, which I didn't realise until after I'd driven it away) and lived its life around Axminster and Seaton, Devon until 1985 when it went to Yorkshire. I brought it back to the Isle of Wight in 2002 and then back to where it started in 2006, undergoing a very very very slow restoration!! Once again, this is a truly fascinating website, and if anyone can help with the Mutley Plain question it would be most appreciated. |
Many thanks in advance, Lisa. " |
Thanks for getting in touch, does anyone know what happened to the sales records for the Mutley Plain BMC garage? |
