Hello all,
I have registered to see if anyone can help me find a picture of a BMC garage where Dad bought a few cars (Austin 1800s mainly) in the 1970s. The garage is; Stockport Motor House, Buxton rd, Heaviley, Stockport.
I've tried to find an archive photo on the internet but have only found one so far (1980s) when it looked very different to how I remember it in the early 1970s.
Many thanks
The Mk1 Forum thread in link below has 35 pages of old garage photos so far, which might be worth a look through...if you have not seen it yet.

That’s not that far from me! Motor House was ann Austin retail dealer in the 60s on the A6 in Stockport next the crematorium. Sold Austin heavy commercials and vans too. Modernised in the 80s but was still an Austin Rover dealer. Now a carpet shop!

Thank you so much Peter. Yes, I remember well the black and white building next door. I seem to recall a before the 80's building, there was a central entrance for access to workshop and a showroom either side. If you can find a pic, that would be awesome
