I bought 4 or 5 cars from Colin Eyre , and always enjoyed a good relationship with Colin Eyre.

A chap who worked there I know through my mother was Ron Bingham , who introduced me to them.

Did you come across Ron ?

Bullerboy, you may not have been in contact with Ron unless you went in the stores , where he looked after that dept.

Colin Eyre a good man , and fair to a young person changing his cars , I think about 5 inside 18 months , until I bought a late model Mk 2 Zephyr 6 1962 in 1964 , which I had for 3 years , and it was brilliant.

There was a sales man. but dont recall his name around this time.
