gmarshman   10 #43 Posted April 28, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
