Harry Williams Ford dealership on the left. Bought a Ford Cortina estate car from there brand new. It ran out of petrol near the Cherry Gardens on the way home. The salesman said that he couldn't understand that because he had put half a gallon in before we left. Very generous I don't think.

Must have been a 3 litre gas gusuler.

Garry, it was a bog standard 1600 cc estate car. In those days it was usual to put 2 gallons of petrol in any car sold by a Ford main dealer. Needless to say we never bought another car from them.
