Reading dealer to close - Page 2

Pete · 11th November 2006, 10:51

Now some time back mine went in there for a new bush on the rear suspension arm. They were really surprised to see it had worn out and it took a couple of days to get the right part ordered, it was so unusual. John may have been the chap who I overheard in the back swearing about the bits that failed on a 75 were the BMW ones as he hunted the item down on his chart!

I'll call them Monday though. There are some specific things I am chasing for the club archives and they may be able to help.

I have dropped an sympathetic email out to these guys expressing sorrow to lose another MGR Dealer, and also politely requested if any tooling or equipment would be available to buy.
I do know the position the lads are in, but if we were to sit on our hands and do nothing, the equipment would possibly go in the bin ? If you dont ask ..............

Agreed. Could you let us all know the outcome?

Lates · 12th November 2006, 18:55

No problem,

Not been past my friendly local dealer for a while due to work, but aim to make the pilgrimage 1 more time before they closed. Has anyone contacted them about the flags, old stock, test book etc?

The dealership has definitely cleared out the show room so I think we can presume it is no more. Could someone update the dealer list on:
