Old NW car dealers

Not sure if posted (it might even have been me who did if so!) - apologies if so - but Perrys Vauxhall in Leyland is now a Tesco Express.

I believe its built near to/on the site of the former Station Garage / SGL Rover.

Google Maps dates suggests it closed between May 2018 and Sept 2021.

Any photos of the old SGL place? Imagine a BL dealer would have been busy in Leyland at some point in the past.

Perrys Vauxhall (previously Holden and Hartley Vauxhall) latterly Perrys Kia also recently closed in Colne.

This was the Peugeot garage on Glodwick Road Oldham , it was firstly operated as "Sven Carlson" then later operated as PGC Peugeot Talbot . I think PGC was / is a Rochdale company . Bit of trivia is the building was originally "Watsons carpets" and after the car showroom & workshop closed it became a successful clothing manufactures . The building & business are still there .

That's a blast from the past. My Dad bought a new Peugeot 309 1.6 GL in Wedgwood Blue from Sven Carlson. I remember going with him to collect it. I can still here the creaky plastic dashboard.
