warren t claim Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 6 minutes ago, RayMK said: Thanks. Interesting. I'll find the original owner's son's letter in which he describes the purchase of LCM66 to see if there are any other clues. I think the letter mentions that it was a Reliant dealer. If it was an official Reliant dealer, it would have been listed in one of the handbooks I've got. I'll check them as well. I have owned the car since 1992. Some of the details are becoming a bit sketchy ?. There is an Argyle Street in Liverpool as well. This is where the Reliant dealer in Liverpool was. On the corner of Oxford Rd and Hawthorne Rd in Bootle. Mrs6C and RayMK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the corner of Oxford Rd and Hawthorne Rd in Bootle. I found the letter. It says that LCM66 was bought at Argyle Motors, Birkenhead in March 1961. Further digging on the net suggests that this was also a motorcycle dealership and was situated at 12-14 Conway Street, Birkenhead. I have not found any further leads on the web yet except for an entry in the Cheshire Echo of 1967 - an advert for Argyle Motors. I did not sign up for the website but may do so that I can view the relevant page of the newspaper. Argyle Motors also had a registered office (or another outlet) in Liverpool, Vernon Street/Dale Street. Mrs6C and warren t claim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren t claim Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 This is the junction of Vernon St and Dale St. As the building on the other side is a pub that's been there over 150 years I can only assume that this small plot is where the dealership used to stand.
