Bristol Cars in Esher and Hersham, Surrey?

[JimmyJam]

I read somewhere recently that at some point Bristol Cars had a base in Esher and then Hersham, Surrey. Anyone know exactly where? Just curious!

The Esher location was in the High Street but I don't know where exactly. IIRC the Hersham location was on the Barley Mow roundabout where the VW dealer is now.

Antony Crook Motors were based in Caterham (originally) and had also sites in Esher & Hersham. Tony Crook lived on the Coombe Estate near Kingston. They were Bristol agents before Tony became part owner and eventaully full owner of Bristol Cars. Also agents for Zagato, Simca, Abarth and a few other interesting things I think.

The Caterham site was taken over by Caterham Cars.

Bristol Cars had the showrooms on Kensington High Street and a servive depot by the Chiswick Roundabout until they moved to Brentford.
