This great photo has emerged with a couple of names too. Garage owner Ralph Shotter is here on the left, shaking the hand of a customer? In the background is Brian Shotter with the glasses and the lady – who worked at Ryde Garage for many years, was known as Margaret. It’s difficult to date the photo – is that a brand new W reg Lancia, if so it’s 1980.

It would be great to know when the garage changed from the Triumph dealership to a Lancia dealer.
