Car Dealers, Garages, Petrol Stations

Another cracker from CliffB and possibly another Ebay sale -

Great pic Neil Just look at those lights on top of the gate posts !!

As they've been mentioned on this thread. Does anyone have any images of this dealer? I don't think they were there long (I can't see them listed in the directories) -

Hi Neil et al, I have a 1972 Directory which I haven't shared with you, I don't have the energy to digitise it. But. . . it does have an entry for Rickards, Philip, Barras Heath Service Station, Mercer Ave., Tel. Coventry 52236. This helps with the timing but no images. There has been a long standing car sales and petrol station near to the junction of Coventry Street (before Mercer Avenue becomes Clay Lane), was the car sales Stuart Price? I know a chap called Entwistle had the petrol station for a while. Link https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/titanic-feat-of-model-making-3124569 I think this is the chap, no mention of Mercer Avenue, but I know he had links with the Potters Green business, a chap named Dave Cagey was prominent in the business too.

They were advertising in Union Street in 1961 to 1966. They are also advertising on London Road.
