--- HISTORY OF D.M.A. ---

 

Dingwall Motor Auctions is run by Mr. Paul I. C. Manton who joined the company in 1974.
It was Established in 1947 in Dingwall Road, Croydon, Surrey, England by his grandfather
Mr. Sidney Hall hence the name of the current building ‘’SIDNEY HOUSE’’. Paul must have engine oil in his veins, because his other Grandfather founded MANTON MOTORS in Croydon. There were Four Families, DEES, DOVES, LEATHWOODS and the MANTONS and just after the war they represented FORD’S, AUSTIN / MORRIS, ROVER, and the ROOTES GROUP, in that order.


Dingwall Motor Auctions is an Independent Family Business and is Croydon’s Largest Motor Auctioneers.
In 1966 Dingwall Motor Auctions moved to it present home in Beddington Farm Road, Croydon.


 


The site where Dingwalls started
, is now under a high rise office block, but if you look carefully you can still see one of the walls of the Garage where it all started in 1947.
The pictures above and below show the early days in Dingwall Road and MANTON MOTORS.
