Amazing that NickB has the Austin garage connection! No old body tags in the drawers anywhere?
Afraid not Jon. Only memorabilia I have is my grandfathers 1955 Austin golden jubilee medal and an Austin paper knife.
I know A (Alfred)Boorman was a coachbuilder I think with a brother in Camberley before they split and Alfred moved to Woking before starting a new business around 1900 selling and repairing cars and carriages. Moved on to solely car repairs/sales and petrol sale. I know that additional to Austin the garage also sold Wolesley, and a couple of other makes. Garage passed to his son Kenneth and ended up as a Chrysler dealer before the business closed in the early 60's.
Remember getting petrol there and walking through the workshops as a kid.
