That oval badge looks like a Ford to me. The 3 digit telephone, we used to be Menston 100, then a further digit 4100, then finally it got to 874100. First one, operator connected, last one, with the area code, dial from anywhere in the country. Add 044, dial from anywhere in the Galaxy (slight exaggeration).
It is so easy to forget that after STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialling) you could stop panicking that your money was draining away.
Menston 120 was a personal number , Menston 100 was The Doctor (Dad).
