was this around 1986? Supercar Classics has a Heathmans ad with a red SV at the time.

Here is a Heathmans ad from late 1986 that mentions the SV. Silhouette 40098 is now silver and in Australia

A few from me from back in the day: Heathmans x 1 and Pullicinos x 2







Does anyone have any more Heathmans photos or Pullicino ones or from when Pullicinos was called the Italian Car Centre before it was Pullicinos?

[Robert W]

Oh, and I found this colour ad for Heathmans - check out the RHD Miura SV in red, the RHD Maserati Ghibli Spider and the RHD Ferrari 308 GTS Koenig in black - awesome.

Great pics. The cars and garages from yesteryear do it for me way more than those nowadays.

I never visited Pullicino unfortunately, but I do remember seeing the full page adverts in magazines at the time.

I only made it to Heathman's once, in August 1987, at 13 years old and clutching my crappy old camera excitedly.












Sorry to go slightly off topic, but on the very same day I also paid a visit to Portman Lamborghini on George Street, where at the time they had this rather infamous car:





Great childhood memories of dragging my parents around London supercar hunting.

Twenty five years later nothing much has changed except that I drag the missus round with me now!

Thanks again Robert.

I added the extra EB110 pic as I'd suddenly remembered why Jason the mechanic was tinkering with the NS door. My mate wanted to take a look inside, and the poor sod couldn't get out!! The door lock had fallen off, into the door. Anyway, Jason sorted it, and Mark was able to get the bus home!

The 'Extras' above include Non Pullicino stuff too.

The Red Ferrari was actually a copy !! They called it a 'recreation', it didn't look bad.

The gold Masser belonged to one of the lindsey boys. I think it was an 'SS'.

The green XK120 next to it is a very famous car called 'Jumbo". Built by the factory, and fitted with a 4.2 Turbo lump. Had aircraft dials and the sweetest turbo whistle.

Then theres BIG MAC. This Mc Laren belonged to Tony Smith, Phil collins and genesis Management at the time.

The registration on it EDD 87K looks familiar, as if I've seen in on Lamborghini too?

Of course! I remember where I saw it; it was featured on my favourite edition of Top Gear, 1991, series 14, episode 12 !

Black interior (the one in the ad) or tan interior (Jay Kay's old SV, from the pic above)?

Black interior, there was also a stunning Pantera there too, helped fuel my desire to get into the motor trade.

Anyone know the story behind the champagne coloured Pantera in Martin350's post? Never seen one with rear arches like that.

I remember sitting in that car when I was 15 years old and can vaguely remember the interior was pretty pimped out too. The owner of Heathmans was a very cool dude, happy to let us kids walk around the place and sit in the cars. I also remember the first time I saw an F1 car up close was Jo Siffert's car outside in the Heathmans yard around the same time.
