Does anyone remember this dealership, Pike's of Exeter? My Austin was bought there in 1960, I did find a snapshot online that features the garage in the background, but I'd like to dredge up any more info that might be out there on this business.

This site has a couple of photos of the garage, and some interesting shots of other garages in the area:

I always love old photographs of garages and forecourts, takes me back to the fifties when there were still plenty around.

I have a large enamel sign from an old Austin Workshop. What the Workshop looked like I have no idea. No photos can be found on the Internet and when using Google Maps Streetview there seems to be nothing but new buildings on that adress today.
