I bought an 850 of a guy who has owned it from new. He purchased it in November 1964 from Premier Motors. Does anyone have any info about this dealership or even better an image of a dealer sticker?
thanks for your time.

Might try some searches in old newspapers online...
eg They were selling Jaguars in 1952
105 Brunswick St
Phone L1449

from : http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/50536987

but records for Brisbane only look to go to 1954...

..found some interesting stuff though for Larke Hoskins in Canberra...

You may find this thread worth reading if you haven't already. We are trying to get dealer stickers made up but it is taking a while.
