Staton Abbey
author
Staton Abbey is the credited author of The Book of the Rover 2000 and 3500, published by Pitman Publishing in London in 1974. Bookseller and catalogue records show that the name appears on many practical motoring handbooks issued by Pitman and Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons. These include Your Motor Car Simply Explained (1947), The Book of the Austin Seven and Eight (1953), The Book of the Fordson Tractor (1954), and a work on automobile fault tracing. Titles in the Pitman Motorists' Library series covered specific makes and models such as Austin, Triumph Herald and Standard. The name is therefore associated with technical, owner-oriented writing on cars and agricultural tractors across roughly the 1940s to the 1970s. No reliable biographical sources were found for birth or death dates, birthplace, nationality, exhibitions or awards. It is also unverified whether Staton Abbey is a real name or a pen name. These fields are left empty rather than guessed.[1,2,3]
