Stratton went into partnership with Daimler's commercial manager Ernest Instone in 1921. Stratton and Instone took charge of the Daimler showrooms at 27 Pall Mall, naming the business Stratton-Instone.[51] Stratton died in July 1929 after a brief illness.[51] His successors and Instone bought out Daimler's interest in 1930 and renamed the business Stratstone Limited.[citation needed] The following summer the future King Edward VIII rented Stratton's house at Sunningdale from his widow.[51]
