  It is surprising given the great interest in anything antique, similar interest in old cars and associated Automobilia how little is published about the early years of petrol distribution and marketing in the UK (petrol is known as gasoline in the USA).
  The objective of this website is to collate information on UK and European Petroliana. Only limited coverage is given to American pumps, signs and globes, which is well detailed already (books and website contacts are listed in the Links Section of this website.)
