Seaton-Petter was a British automobile brand, founded by The British Dominion Car Co. Ltd. from 1926–1927 . was made in Yeovil, Somerset .

There was only one model, 10-18 hp with twin-cylinder two-stroke engine which had a displacement of 1.3 l and 18 bhp (13.2 kW) at 1600 min -1 developed. The open touring car had four seats and three doors (the spare wheel was attached to the right in front of the driver's seat). The wheelbase was 2591 mm, the track width 1422 mm. The superstructure was 3454 mm long and 1676 mm wide. The whole vehicle weighed 762 kg.

Due to its simple and robust construction (only five moving parts in the engine; two pistons , two connecting rods and a crankshaft ) the car was intended especially for use in the British colonies and for drivers who cared little for it.

The success, however, was not overwhelming, because after a year the automobile and company had disappeared from the scene again.
