served my time there, done a lot of services so check your service books for my signature! the dealership started doing Ford vans as a side and then when MGR went bang they became a Ford dealer,also sold TATAs for a while which was fun (NOT!)

, still remember one guy buying a TATA Safari brand new he got as far as the end of south street and broke down, when he got recovered back the salesman asked him how he got so far!!!

Back on thread my Y reg came from Mantles Rover Herts which now sells Ford,KIA and Mitubishi

not too sure about my 54 plate

That will bring back some pleasant and happy memories for Steve..Who's the lady in the picture and any details of the 75 sat on Serpents.

I noticed a MGF locally which was displaying a window sticker ''Harewood Motors''

The picture above was seen on the .org site...

Mine came from Arc de Triomphe Autos (near the famous Arc de Triomphe) in Paris

. Now it's a Land Rover / Range Rover dealer (used to to that back in the day as well) and a Fiat dealer also (for the new 500 only

)..

Now my car is serviced at GBR in Châtenay Malabry in the southern suburbs of Paris which also used to be a Rover, Land Rover and Ranger Rover dealer, but now selling end servicing Kia and Hyundai and servicing Rover, Land Rover and Ranger Rover as well

.

Just looked in my service book, and an early service at Sunwin Keighley was signed by S. Summers, I can't make out any of the other signatures. Ring any bells?

Sadly not, i was in sales there until late on in 1999 but things were not well at that time with Rover & selling was not paying the bills so i had to move on. I just wish i had kept all my launch training folders / paperwork etc

That name does not spring to mind - Matthew Horner was the service manager from about mid 1998 right until the dealership closed, Claire Martin was on service reception with another guy whos name i cant remember - although i know he is now in the police.

I always popped into Sunwin Keighley when I was passing.. Nice showroom. Never bought a car from there only their sister branch Farnells who were very good. Bought mine from the following dealers:

Parents:
MG Maestro + MG Metro + Rover Metro - Perrys Dewsbury (now demolished)
MG Montego - Perrys Huddersfield (now Vauxhall)

Me:
Rover 414i x 2 - Farnell Guiseley
MG ZS - Clemo Cleckheaton
MG ZT - AutoPlanet Rover Southampton
Others private dealers/owners

Its a real shame MG Rover aren't around anymore and the new MG Motor dealers just don't have the same appeal, thats if you can find one!
