Looking at the picture, it's Maidstone, more specifically.

I used to have a Hillman Imp with that designation - DKE 805K - when I lived in Gillingham.

My Traveller is SNF. I have the original bill of sale and it was supplied new in Manchester. It was in the Manchester area (The original owner, Mrs Fern, owned it for 20 years) until I bought it in 2003.

Hereford for me.

I have an old dealership listing book that lists most of the dealers in the 60's so if you need more details I may be able to help.

Adelaide, South Australia. I still have the original dealers paperwork, a map showing the addresses for the BMC parts and servicing establishments in SA and the little card with the oil weights typed onto it, all in a BMC Australia vinyl folder.
