Q & A: University Motors Regalia

Tuesday January 03rd, 2006

John, a friend recently bequeathed to us two 'new' university motors badges. i would like to describe them to you and ask that you tell us their background, please.

first, we have a round metal medallion, about 1.5 inches in diameter. around the outside it says 'univsersity motors' at the top and 'special' at the bottom, with two emblems in the middle. it does not appear to be intended to be affixed to a car; rather perhaps to sit on a table top or something.

second, we have 1" by 2" rectangular medallion that says 'uniserity motors ltd' at the top and 'stratton house w1' at the bottom, and 'grovesnor 4141' below that. there are two holes in it toard the bottom [for affixing to something?] and three emblems in the midde.

was there / is there a university motors in the UK? are these badges from your business or perhaps from a british business?

any info that you may have on these would be very appreciated.

thanks
