Re: old garages
Appleyard's filling station Leeds. Building is still there as it's listed, but a sort of Council owned folly now.

Re: old garages
1st Mini in Chipping Campden sold by the garage not in 1959 as first thought as Bill Bell has pointed out it is a 1961 car. Garage still operated by the family on the site after > 100 years but the building has been converted to house shop units.

An MG Metro at Cutts

Little bit of history here

Eventually they went changed to a Ford Franchise.
The building is in the yard behind the Red Lion pub.
