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.

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.

12 Conway Street has always been a dodgy nightclub called Sherlocks (recently rebranded The Platinum Lounge after a recent murder) for as long as I can remember although I was only born in 1970!

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.

That's on the route James Bulger was taken by Venables and Thompson. I think that every time I drive into Liverpool.

The white corner shop was a Motorists Discount Centre where an 11 year old WTC managed to blow up the Sparkright electronic ignition display unit.

Not in my opinion. Good to see you posting, hopefully you'll come back.

It looks like the green Astra was dead before its 11th birthday.
