Walworth Road nick was expanded with a new pale brick building with a walled courtyard/parking lot behind at the end of the '80s or in the early '90s, I used to pass it daily on my way to college at the LCP, whether by bike along Walworth Rd or by rail, which runs right behind it. I never saw any cars being worked on, just Astras and Sherpas and the like coming and going on daily business. I suspect the garage was closed by the early '90s? Or maybe the nick is at Carter Street, and the garage was a bit nearer to the Elephant and Castle roundabouts, off Hampton Street, a cyclist's shortcut, as MadAnt suggests?
Going off topic a bit, back in the mid '90s when I lived in S. London I remember seeing a red 3500S outside the Fire Station on Queens Road, Peckham, and wondering if it had been a Fire Chief's car? It wasn't lettered and didn't have blue lights on top, but it looked the part!
Even further off topic, does anybody remember an older fella with a couple of railway arches (Ilderton Rd or Jarrrow Rd?) in South Bermondsey in the '80s, who used to have loads of P6 spares, especially heaps of panels all neatly stored?
Sorry!
How is the Guv'nor coming along anyway? Or ist it done and 'in service' again?
