The one in Tolworth was on the corner of Raeburn and Warren Drive, 'cos I went to the primary school a couple of hundred yards away . There is still a dealership of sorts there, but it keeps closing down and re-opening some months later. We think it's some kind of dodgy tax dealings.

 

I can't remember the one near the Robert Peel, but there was one near the ASDA store near Kingston Hospital

Blimey ,i used to clean cars once for Jon at Crossways at Tolworth ,used to have some great cars there in the 80s .

20 years on and my mate Simon and a neighbour Chris tried to rent it but couldnt make a go of it ,i was loosly involved in dealing with part exs

The reason so many go in there is they think main road and good position but the rent is way too high and with the current climate they cant meet the rent

The Amercian Car centre was on London Road next to Shell Garage is also long gone they moved to Castleneau nr Barnes some years back the whole garage is now flats

The one next to Robert Peel was many things over the years and is now van rental site

These were taken in mid 80s

I believe still imports stuff from the states but trades from home as hes semi-retired ,now seen him in years

Think Jon was still there just about when MS took over ,its gone down hill last few years ,most of the shops run by indian families and the imports have moved in ,i moved to Chessington which okay but theres nothing worth visting in Tolworth all the shops bar MS are crap ,even the banks have pulled out

How things have changed good old days was looking at my service history for my escort yesterday and original bill of sale and now its 30 years old who would have thought these would be a classic Mark
