Sad, yes, but how good that Malcolm's wisdom remains alive and well in your hands, Exlkrs.

Re: Sad day
A belated condolence to you Exlkrs. I work for Lookers Leasing in Harrogate. As you know, Lookers had a long history with the Austin marque and was one of the first distributors.
It would be good to hear of your experiences especially around the time you worked on A40's. If you have any pictures that would be brilliant.
As Keith said, let Malcolm's wisdom be enjoyed and shared by you too.
Here is an old ad.

Re: Sad day
Here are a few more pictures that I had. I understand one is of the Preston dealer which had been requisitioned for the war effort. You can see the anti ram bollards and guard outside.
The other is of First Avenue. I don't know if this was the main workshop? Lastly, I understand they used to print a magazine and I think this is a page out of the reference file.

Yes that's Preston. Was a Peugeot dealer later, run by John Ray, a contemporary of Dads, he still lives not far from me
