Found some old signs from my Grandad's garage

[Ved]

A couple of years ago I got a present from my mum made up of a complete collection of classic cigarette cards from 1936 completed by my late Grandad. Today I've found a few more thing and thought I'd share it with you.

These are some signs from his garage, one featuring a JDM Toyota - it must be in the genes

When I went to Old Town in Kissimmee in Florida for the Cruise Night, they had one of those Toyota 2000s there in totally immaculate condition, for sale at $12000.

If I'd had the faintest clue how to do it, I would have bought it and brought it back as it was $2 to the £ at the time.

Ahh so you'll know where they lived. Main roundabout connecting town next to the cricket green, the house that had the big green wood gates? That's theres. Brilliant house

That's my flooring btw.

The site is still a garage from what I recall but his business wasn't taken over as such.

Interesting. I had to check where Retford is, I thought it was East Anglia and then I thought possibly Manchester.
