Hi everyone, if it's already been mentioned I apologise, but can anyone remember the name of the Reliant 3 wheel Car garage at the bottom of Belle isle road near the motorway slip road? theres a second hand car sales still there, not sure if it's the same building though.

If memory serves I think it was Temple motors.

Thanks everyone, I remember the garage from the 70's n 80's and thought the name would jump out, but the only one that seems familiar is Cockrofts. thanks again.

The move was necessitated by the disastrous floods at their previous premises at Barlby, first village on the A19 York Road out of Selby.

Of course it was Cockrofts! Mind you I was half right with Bancroft!
