Raymond Way Ford Car Sales / Dealer.Another interesting pair of curious scanned and sent over by Les, this time found in a folder containing miscellaneous motoring items from the 1960s. They were used at the Raymond Way Ltd car dealership, advertising a 1960 Anglia on sale in the showroom. |

| These unusual items are just the kind of thing that get thrown away, and therefore don't survive for long. Perhaps both screen displays were used in the same car - before and after a price change? maybe they came with a car that the purchaser bought, and these had been left in the window. The car was a 105E Anglia de-luxe saloon, from 1960. |
| Searching around online brings up some references to a motor dealer of this name, based in Kilburn, London. He was the first person in the UK to place adverts on commercial television it seems. A Thames lorry of the early 1950s, in the livery of Raymond Way, can be seen on this page. |
Raymond Way employee gets in touch.Brian Davies dropped me a line early in 2010, he was an employee at Raymond Way at the time of these screen displays: |

"Browsing through the web today, I came upon a couple of on-screen For Sale notices for a 1960 Ford Anglia which had been posted
by a chap called Les. He had come across these old handwritten notices in a folder containing various motoring docs. My name is
Brian Davies, I worked at Raymond Ways at this time as a salesman, and knew very well the chap who wrote out these sale notices,
his surname was the same as mine, so I went under the name of Bryan. I would love to hear from anyone who can remember anything
pertaining to any staff member of that era, or anything to do with Raymond Way Motors. At my time there we also supplied the cars
for the television series Z Cars, had an aviation dept, and even had a Piper aeroplane in our showroom in Kilburn high street. There
was a motorcycle dept ( where I first worked ), and a three wheeler dept to boot. Hoping to hear from someone, I am expectantly Brian Davies. PS, To hear from Frederick Way ( junior!! ) would be absolutely fantastic." |
| If anyone else worked for this motor retailer, and has memories of working there, please get in touch and I'll add them in here. In later years the company would be taken over by King's of Oxford as part of their business expansion. |
