Yes, Abingdon was certainly a thriving center for automobile production at that period, so that would not be a surprise there!
The SB Registrar should have some very interesting information, and I shall look forward to seeing the results of your enquiries.

Hi Easthill=)
Watch this space then.
Pitcanary gave me a lead, and I have others to follow up.
I will report all here for the public record.
Looks very promising as I write.
I'm still waiting for a response from the Swift registrar, and that may well provide good leads/information.
The curator at the museum also gave me a tantalising contact who has not yet replied to my phone calls.
Will report it all here. (I will call her again as soon as I post this...)
Fascinating stuff, isn't it?
And a pleasure too!
