Linacre Motors at Brighton Beach Melbourne is listed in the BMC dealers list of 1966. That is all I know.
Looking at the map there is a Linacre Rd Brighton so the dealer may be named after the road or locality.

I live in Brighton and my Grandfather was very close mates with a Jack Linacre who lived in Sandringham. Both my Grandfather and his brother were into cars and racing in their time so it's quite possible there's a connection. I might ask my Dad since if i wanted to ask Grandpa i would have had to do it early last year. :(

The parents are in central Australia at the moment... i tried to call them the other day and the mobile is well out of range. They'll call me when they get close to a town i'm sure. Should be a couple of days.
