Mr Barker ran it in the 60's. His son Dave used to borrow one of the cars off the forecourt and take 3/4 of us to places like Lathkildale and Monsoldale. Fortunately he only had the odd shandy and was an excellent driver.

Used to live a short distance from them, and they did repairs on my cars (the bits I couldn't do myself) in the 60's and 70's

I'm searching for photographs of Sandygate Motors, ideally one taken in the early 1950's but anything is welcome really.

 

If anyone could point me in the direction of one I'd be immensely grateful.

My dad used to fill up with petrol (four star). There was an attendant who did it for you! Great service.

I bough my first NEW car from Sandygate Motors in 1983. A Silver MG Metro reg: A 370 WHE from a salesman called Neil Letherland. The mechanic was Eddie Marples. Had that car 9 years.
