NevSpit Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Splendid": now there's a word that's fallen into disuse. Shame really, as I'm heartily sick of everything being "amazing"... Gully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Guest Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hello Steve, I have a few friends in NZ and will ask them if they can assist - they are of that era to recall such matters. The exhibition concerning East Sussex I spoke to you about a little while back is commencing end of January; the actual road the exhibition is concentrating on certainly had a Triumph dealership. Again, any info and I will let you know. Regards. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
