    I am still collecting information and writing about Triumph car dealers.  My facebook group now has nearly 600 followers Triumph Car Dealers

    Berkeley Square Garages Limited of London were for many years a large dealer in the centre of London.  I wrote about them in Berkeley Square Garages Limited of London - Triumph Car Dealer 46

    Plea for information

    If you have any more information or recollections about Berkeley Square Garages Limited, photos of window stickers, dealer badges or sill plates etc please let me know.

    That's interesting! Mine's blue, dated 1973. It states it was first published in 1970 and then obviously updated to include the later models, and mine appears to be the last revised version. Like the Haynes manual it's a vinyl-wrapped cover, which makes me feel that it was designed to be used in the garage and wiped clean afterwards. These days I have to refer to a laptop which has the photos I took before starting anything; it's not as wipe clean as the book nor does it bounce as well when it slides off whatever I've set it on.

    Mine is a third edition from 1973.

    Hi all, on the general theme has anyone come across Francis & Marshall? Their name is on the number plate of my TR6 with the 'Austin Morris' logo and whilst I have some history of the car I don't know where it has been on its travels too much. I suspect it could be London based.

    Thanks.

    Do you think the reg plates are original?  If so the reg will give you a clue as to where it was first registered. 

    If you have a heritage cert for your car it will probably include details of the dealer the car was dispatched to by Triumph works.

    I have lots of dealers directories http://vitessesteve.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/triumph-car-dealer-directories.html

    where dealers are listed by town and or county.

    thanks for posting.  Unfortunately the TR Register moved my Post about Triumph Dealers into their members only section.  This image posted above comes from another post to which I am excluded so thanks again for reposting it here.
