Dutton Forshaw took over Loxhams. Loxhams Garages Ltd then traded as Dutton Forshaw (Preston) Ltd. I have written about Loxhams in my blog see: http://vitessesteve.blogspot.com/2017/1 ... rs-54.html

Supplied by Reliance Garage in Glossop, who were authorised Triumph dealers, but strangely didn't have the Triumph logo on on the holder. The car still has its dealer sticker in the rear window which also doesn't have the Triumph logo. They are listed in the Triumph Sales and Service booklet however.

My other 1972 PI was originally supplied by the Triumph Dealers, Blue Bell Garage, Bury and Rochdale Old Road, at Heywood. I bought the car in 1991, and as Blue Bell Garage still existed, I paid them a visit. I recollect they had been or were at the time a BMW garage, and they kindly supplied a couple of old Blue Bell Triumph rear window stickers, and some PI fuel injection parts they had 'lying around' (ahh, the good old days...). One window sticker went in the car, which unfortunately has now suffered the ravages of time, but if I can find the other one, I will photo it. No promises, but I'll do my best to find it...!

Re: Original Purchase Receipts

Re: Original Purchase Receipts
Not sure if Clarence ever supplied my great Grandfather's one with any window stickers or key fobs, although it has the original sill kick plate dealer plaque.
