yorkshire_spam Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Cool! Found a couple in the 1974 directory (I picked that as it's the year I was born!)I know one of them, it's a Tesco now. The other might be a used car place, but the information isn't specific enough to locate without some more research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyf Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 There used to be a Triumph/Leyland Dealer in a small town called Heanor just north of Derby, might have been a Kenning's but I cannot remember the name of it.What I do remember is it closed down in the late 70's and was a private Car Sales lot and garage for a while, they still had the Mk2 Vitesse Two Seater Beater large size Advert up on the Wall! I was working in the Area at the time but never got the courage up to nip in and ask if I could have it, I think they have a similar one in the TSSC Museum.

Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 GracesGuide is a great site that I have often used as a source. I have a dealer list for April 1951 that does not include Light Car Co so think the RAC listing said to be from 1950 may not be correctly dated.

Pete Arnold Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Quoted from vitessesteve GracesGuide is a great site that I have often used as a source. I have a dealer list for April 1951 that does not include Light Car Co so think the RAC listing said to be from 1950 may not be correctly dated. Yes, Steve, quite possibly a year or so out.I wonder when the "4" was added at the front of Derby telephone numbers.But also note that the RAC listing only states Triumph "specialist" not "dealer".Further investigation warranted!

I believe Mumfords of Newton Abbot was established following the take over of A C Bulpin & Son Ltd who had been a Standard Triumph garage in 1955. I am not sure of the date of the take over.

Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The 38th article I have written is about Botwoods Ltd a Triumph car dealer based in the east of England. Botwoods was a part of the Mann Egerton group.Until 1910 the motor car manufacturers Botwood & Egerton ran alongside the carriage-making firm until Egerton left to set up his own business in Northgate (Street) next to the Great White Horse Hotel. The Botwood company became Botwoods Ltd and in the 1920s the Botwood shares were acquired by Mann, Egerton & Co of Norwich.You can read more on my blog at: http://vitessesteve.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/botwoods-of-bury-st-edmunds-ipswich-and.htmlPlea for informationIf you have any more information or recollections about this garage, photos of window stickers, dealer badges or sill plates etc please let me know.
