all the cubbin and north garages,i used to do valeting for them.as I remember mr cubbins daughter was quite pleasant...I actually bumped a brand new saxo at the bebington site!at the jeep garage on the a41 (now carphone warehouse) I remember someone chopped in a mk2 golf 16v and a mk3 vr6 for a jeep and I thought at the time why would you do that?

I bought a lot of the equipment from the A41 garage when it was sold off, sealed bids I seem to recall, including all their phone & computer equipment.

I'd just dismantled everything when a very urgent lady came on the phone trying to get it all back as it didn't actually belong to Cubbin & North.

I think I still have one of their Jeep banners in my workshop.

My dad bought a Peugeot 104 in the 80's from Palace for 150 pounds. I was begging him to buy a red XJS for 400 quid, but he didn't want to (in hindsight I can see why!).

Remember going round all these dealers to get the car brochures.
Danes Volkswagen used to be opposite Storeton Woods (now next to Village Hotel).
Also James Edwards Rover on Old Chester Road (near Dacre Hill).

Incidentally, I live next to where the old Rootes car factory was (Hillman/Talbot, etc). They built a retail park on it.

Wasn't the Cabin club in Birkenhead situated above a car dealers called "House of Geoffre"?

Halls Pegouet where M53 Ford is now!

Not sure if it was a dealers or just a garage..

Cheshire Brothers, opposite Storeton woods

Yes, Volkswagen dealer if I remember aright. I think the site was cleared and wasn't built on until quite recently.

Bebington Motors

RE Wright was a Triumph and Standard garage and dealer. The original garage was on Borough Road between Temple Road and Prenton Road West. We bought our first new car from there, a Standard 10 and later my mum got a Triumph Spitfire. I think they may have opened another branch in Upton later on.

At the bottom of Singleton Avenue there was a second hand car dealer called Arroway Motors.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned Kirby's which was a Rootes Group dealer on Woodchurch Road where Sainsbury's was subsequently built. I remember walking past there often on my way home from school just so I could look at a Red Sunbeam Tiger in the showroom.

Seem to remember a Ford Dealers on Claughton Road which is now, B & M ' Blakes Ford Agents '

You may remember the chippy just a few doors down on the town side of Temple Rd. The owner bought a TR2 from R.E.Wright's in about 1953/54.

Chris, that chippy was Baily's. I rember a red TR2 sitting on the pavement out side Wright's at arround 53/54, do you remember the Triump Mayflower {saloon} out arround that time. It had an all ally body.

Triumph Mayflower .... Known as the Razor Edged Saloon. Quite well appointed for their day I seem to remember! Like early Fords - any colour you like.... as long as it's black !

The ford dealers on Parkgate front, think it was part of Bowmans

Thanks, Jim, I couldn't remember the name. Perhaps you also remember the name of the chippy in Prenton Rd. West, on the corner of Parkhurst Rd. I think there's a bathroom place there now. I used both that one and Bailey's.
The Mayflower was produced from 1949 to 1953; I didn't know it had an ally body.
Hope you're feeling better now.

Yes Chris I remember that chippy on the corner of Parkhurst, use to go there as well as Bailey's. I use to go to them at lunch time when at Prenton Park road school. {not both the same lunch time} but not sure if the name was Haymer's or not, do remember they made great scallops. Tablets off the doc seem to be doing the trick as I feel much better now thanks.
Can remember why the Mayflower was known as the razor edge like Pinz said. The top of the front wings and the line down the back edge from the roof where a sharp crease

The Mayflower actually had a steel body,the floorpan being welded to the chassis.It also had a gutless 1247cc side valve engine.It was designed with the post-war American market in mind.A total failure there.
A fair proportion of the 34,000 odd production did go to Ceylon!
An uncle of mine owned a U.K. example in the early '60s,it was as rotten as a pear bodywise.
The Renown and slightly later 2000,not the'60s one,werebodied in alloy.
Cheers,
Pete.

J. Blake & co,Ford dealers were at Claughton Road, Hind Street and Heswall. They also had a small place up near the Art gallery (with a sail maker in the loft)
They also had a large commercial/storage site in Liverpool (near Penny Lane?) and a car dealership in Liverpool too.

What was the BMC dealer at Park entrance?

My Mum used to work at RE Wright's, so my Dad had a succession of Triumphs having previously had Fords (Popular, Prefect).
One of my schoolteachers played football for the garage once, but he was far too good for their standard of football!

The Golden Sun ???

W.Watson and Co. Liverpool Ltd

Voss motors by park entrance, R.E Wright also on Borough Rd opposite Brattan Rd.
