Default Dealership, Where my 75 came from

Hi all,

My 75 still wears its original dealer plates and decided to have a look on Google maps.

Mg Greaves Hutton rudby
36 Garbutts Ln, Hutton Rudby, Yarm TS15 0DL

Here's what I found...

A 75 outside near the road, in the little compound, an mgf, another 75 very similar to mine but o different wheels and then a 25.

Also noticed on the far right o the building what appears to be an xpart autoservice sign?

Wonder if the dealership is still their...

Rob

Shame, was hoping to get some pics of where our 75 was sold from... I'm all for change but.. in the last 15-20 years so many things have changed or been demolished.
