The Palmerston was a British car made by the Palmerston Motor Company based in Bournemouth, England between 1920 and 1923. ==History== The company was founded by the three Bullock brothers who were trading as motor engineers in 1919 . In 1920 they founded the Palmerston Motor Company in Palmerston Road, Boscombe with the ambition of building their own range of light cars. The Palmerston car was advertised for sale in late 1920 and exhibited at the London Motor Show by agents Olympic Aeros and Autos also based in Boscombe.〔 The company was under capitalised and in 1921 was declared bankrupt and sold to new owners Francis Henry Morris and Bertie Francis Plant trading as the Palmerston Lytcar Company.〔 A new larger engined model was designed and called the Palm and sold alongside the Palmerston. In November 1921 the company was sold again and became Palmcars Ltd with Morris and Plant remaining as directors.〔 The company still failed to make money and receivers were appointed in 1922. It was sold to one of the major shareholders, Frederick Goddard〔 but it seems unlikely that any more cars were made. The total number of cars made is not known with estimates between 30 and 100.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Palmerston (car)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
