I have seen this name pop up a few times in posts.

Was this a Morris/Cooper/Leyland dealership? Does anyone have any info on it? Any pictures and more importantly - Does anyone have a picture of the window sticker they would have placed on the rear glass of the vehicles they sold?

Thank you

This would have been my nearest dealer - the site is now Welcome to Thornbury - a food truck park & beer garden. Before that it was a Plexiglass ute canopy distributor.
At some point in the 80s it looks like it was a Toyota dealer.

This is brilliant! Thank you both.

What are the chances of someone having one of those service books (ideally a tatty looking one) for sale?

Is there anywhere domestically that does repro dealership stickers ie: this one?

Thanks again :-)

Did Haye's motors in Tenterfield have a service book cover or a rear window sticker by any chance?

For what vehicle? The Drivers Handbook and Passport to Service varied over time and by vehicle type/model.

Thanks mate, just after one for my 850. Not after one because thats where my car came from or complete any sort of concourse restoration. I'm after one because it is my surname and my mini looks like rubbish - hence wanting a tatty one.

I had a quick play yesterday to draw one up. Took a shortcut with the Gould's typeface and used one of the standard fonts so I could get an idea quickly, so the shape of G, O & D is not right.
