mercrocker Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Sherfield English on the A27 in Hampshire between Romsey and Salisbury. I think they still sell four star here, too. I get my MOTs done here....Not sure about the four star now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'm not sure if Pritchard's in Llandrindod Wells is still selling fuel but the deco building is still there, also there is a similar but smaller place in Gas Street in Newtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asimo Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 This was a couple of weeks ago. I thought Regent had disappeared as a brand in the '60s. Near Hay on Wye. Proprietor got extra points for a) rotting Jaguarand b)rushing out to tell me I was about to put petrol in the van. It is petrol but he didn't know that.

MorrisItalSLX Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 My local "servo" as we call them here, soon to be no more It closed when a new one was built on the outskirts of town as this one was old and on a prime bit of land The owner lived in it until he died 2 years ago (at 101!)

Wack Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Love old petrol stations In the late 70s early 80s I had a mate who was a crane engineer , when they broke he'd go out and fix them , credit cards weren't common then , he was out in Norfolk , saw the visa sign on a 2 pump petrol station in the middle of nowhere , guy came out filled the van up, mate goes into the booth to pay , hands the card over , old guy behind the counter looks at it for 20 seconds, says thanks and puts it in the till drawer NorfolkNWeigh, Disco Fever, BorniteIdentity and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleyeller Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Came across this one in the Peaks on Sunday - looked like it was still serving fuel, prices a bit higher than in the cities but only about 5 pence more.

doubleyeller Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Now then here are a few more - Ilton, Somerset. A Q8 no less! Who knew they still existed. Very old pumps too! And for the crowning glory, who knew we still had a thatched station in the UK? Shitepointz for anyone who comes up with the correct location. Unleaded £1.19 a litre. Local TESCO is £1.25 a litre. I know who I'd rather buy from..... Anyway, my work is done here I think - never going to find one to beat that! The owner told me that the last hand cranked pump was at Ilminster and decomissioned in 2003 is anyone was wondering......

robinmasters Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I though we'd had this on here already, but apparently not*. In Smeeth, near Ashford Kent. Bonus points for the attached Perodua dealership... ...and associated Perodua graveyard. *I think DW's Nippa may have had a dealer sticker from here, and it was mentioned around the time this thread last surfaced.

Screenshot_20180221-224714.png The second one, in Battle High street was a tiny Ford main agent until not so long ago. One of those ones that seemingly used to be present in every British town with a population of more than about twenty. Not sure when Ford pulled out but it was recently enough to have a late shape (2012ish on) Fiesta in the showroom. The oval 'Stiles' sign is just slapped over the Ford signage. robinmasters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs6C Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 As quite a few AS members are heading for the FotU this weekend, they might like to visit Buckingham's central petrol station: Ganderton's. There are some interesting old cars and motorcycles in the little showroom, including a Suzuki Whizzkid and a Lancia Fulvia. The best feature though is that Ganderton's sells real, leaded 4 star. It's not cheap - I think it was about £1.85/litre when I last used it - but for a car that doesn't too many miles per year, the extra cost for filling the tank is probably reasonable relative to the time and cost of dealing with the valve seats... It's attended service as well - a nice old-fashioned experience. Angrydicky, forddeliveryboy and CGSB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
