Clock seems to have 'Regent Petrol' on it

Re: Imperial Motors Bournemouth

Douglas,

I think the photo of Imperial Motors will date from around May 1937 and the Coronation of George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, rather than 1952 as you suggest - hence the new Ruby standing in the entrance and possibly another behind the left hand showroom window.

Jeff.


Jeff

I think you are correct, I was guessing his death and the Corronation of Elizabeth but did not look at the cars in the window.

The below provides a bit more info on the garage in 1946.

May be worth adding to the A7 archives.
