Can't see them on here either, might not have been RS Dealers!

[Bigjohn]

Yes i was checking the chart also but nothing relating to the names I have

[Bigjohn]

If you type in 505 newport road for the Godfrey Motor co
google comes up with
Evans Halshaw Cardiff (Ford)
maybe this is now the new name or maybe Godfrey Motor Co sold the site?

Maybe it has been bought out. Like so many garages in this area, have been taken over, changed name and moved to new premises. So much has changed in the motor trade over the last 30 years. They have also swaped their franchises to confuse things even further.

Any idea if UBM Motors(Ford) Ltd come into it anywhere, they where the RS Dealers in that area at that time?

Don't you believe it John! I was amazed when I wrote to the first owner of mine about 18 months ago now. I thought the guy would have been getting on a bit or even passed away, but he is still there and was amazed and grateful that I had got in touch. He also wants to come over to see the car some time and bring some old photos of the car with him. To my surprise he was 39 years old, so he was in his early 20's when he bought the car new, lucky guy!
