Leeds 1970's Car Accessory Shops.

I'm having a senior moment, I lived in Roundhay, Leeds from the mid Sixties to Seventies and used to buy stuff from Larkspeed at Crossgates. There was another smaller accessory shop on Harrogate Road on the parade of shops just down from the Queens Arms on the opposite side of the road. Anyone remember what it was called?

Ha yes, I'd forgotten the Charlie Browns on York Road. I've also remembered Shema Spares on New Road Side in Horsforth ( the road leading down to Kirkstall Forge) My mate bought a supercharger from there for his Hillman Imp.
Still struggling with the one on Harrogate Road.

That's good to hear about Larkspeed, I worked down the road at R.O.F. from1975-79 and was in there regularly. Still used to go in up to the mid nineties occasionally, really good guys.

The shop had some black and white chequer paint on the frontage if I remember right. Leads me to think it might have been called something to do with Racing and Rallying, or maybe Pitstop? Memory fade on this one I'm afraid.
