Solved: PN #69 - Man & Machine No1: Jack Lemon Burton

In a new series, I'll try to pick the brain of the "cream of the crop". This man played a very important role in the history of one, now long-gone automobile maker, though he was not an employee. Who is this guy and what was his role?

I don't recognise the photo, but he looks a bit like Sir Bernard Docker, chairman of BSA and later Daimler.

He was not working in a car factory either as a manager or a plain worker, nor was he an actor, singer - an entertainer.
But he was deeply involved with a particular brand

Yes, he was a British automobile dealer. But he wasn't selling British cars...
