Half-timbered building to match the Rover's half-timbered interior. Don't these cars look better on thick-wall crossplies and simple hubcaps..

martc Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Interesting interpretation of the alphabet in the dealer listings in the add above - perhaps it makes sense in cyrillic? Are they grouped by county? There is at least one omission - Arncliffes of Hull who were mega dealers. Talking of Hull note that all the Ladas in both adverts are registered in Hull (KH and RH)* except the UA on the estate which is a Leeds issue. Ladas were brought in through Hull docks and the PDI and distribution was done at Carnaby Industrial Estate near Bridlington by Satra (I think). * should they be carrying East Yorkshire letters (BT and WF) issued at Beverley as they would, I guess, be registered at Carnaby (Bridlington)? lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
