austin supplier in wales

Tony, that's my understanding of how it worked. The customer would order his new car from his local garage, who would then order it from the area distributor (Tom Norton in this case). I believe that the distributor would typically keep some cars in stock for immediate delivery; if they were not to the ordered colour/spec, then they in turn would order it from the Longbridge factory. The factory, in turn, kept popular colours in stock, whilst less-popular or non-standard colours might take some time before they were available.

Where a suitable service was available, cars would be shipped to the distributor by rail, but then in all probability the car would then be delivered by road to the local dealer - in these cases, as with my car, the distributor would register the car and fit the number plates, leaving the dealer to fix his own supplier's plate.
