Clearly leaving garages open means that key workers such as NHS workers, transport, delivery, food and medicine retail etc can get vehicles fixed without having to wait for the likes of me who can work from home
Car garages can stay open as key workers need their cars for work. The majority have closed with a few staying open to do mot’s. With the 6 month extension I think almost all will now close. The ones still open locally are generally but not all independents and single person operations, hopefully after tomorrow things will be put in place financially and they too will close.

'Marmite' Possibly one of the most famous 75 tourers produced! left the production line as the last of only Three Rover 75 tourers produced in Trophy Yellow. 48 hours later Longbridge closed. The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle
