Haha yeah sorry just been searching everything and anything and came across this forum topic!
No we stopped selling cars about 3/4 years ago. But we still have bits and pieces every now and then!
I am told we have had a 911 2.7 RS a yellow diablo and a pink countach. These are the photos I really want to try and find!
I have found a few of the countach.
Cheers,
Sam
I used to love your place, as a kid I would ride my bike from bulwell with a mate to look through the windows in the evening No we stopped selling cars about 3/4 years ago. But we still have bits and pieces every now and then!

Hi Sam, my dad had a shop on Wollaton Road called Billy Grays near the Lloyds bank.
I remember Kip coming in and asking me as I was in the motor trade where he could get that pink Lambo painted.
I recall the story of how the original owner picked that pink grey combo too. They painted it White to help it sell faster

Deans of Nottingham which I recollect had a showroom on the Hucknall/Bulwell junction. They always had a wide selection of cars on show and the salesman in there that I spoke to was excellent.
Anyone remember the name of the dealer on Mapperley Plains that is now a Sainsbury's store. I bought a white Mk2 Golf GTi from them back in the 1980s.

Not sure where Sainsburys in Mapperly Plains is but I remember the Lancia dealer up there, Goulders, was on 1st name terms the parts team up there when I had my Lancia.
RE: Sainsburys, there's one on the Plains just before you get to Spring Lane, it used to be a Budgens for 10-15 years, I don't ever remember it being a car showroom though, I grew up across the road in the 80/90's just a bit further up between Spring Lane and Podders Lane.Not sure where Sainsburys in Mapperly Plains is but I remember the Lancia dealer up there, Goulders, was on 1st name terms the parts team up there when I had my Lancia.
There used to be an independent VW garage just opposition from the old Carlton pub in Carlton, the premises used to be owned by a custom car builder called Pete Ferris who built novelty cars amongst other things for seaside resorts (giant ice creams and cartoon animals IIRC) He also built from a scratch a 20's styled droptop coupe for my old man in the early 80's.

I reckon the Mapperly dealer which is now a Sainsburys is the old Vauxhall dealer - Sharpes? It's the one amongst the shops, not near Spring lane. Became what is now Pentagon at the back of the old Home Ales brewery on Mansfield Road.
I remember now, it was at the top of Breck Hill Road, I lived in Redhill for a couple of years and took the bus past it most days to school.Cottee and Edwards, Castle Boulevard. Jaguar for many years and then a short while as Datsun
