Multiple Brands - Kingston Hill Motor Works, 35-41 Kingston Hill, Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey late 1930s 2
This is I think a slightly later view, the trim on the building is bigger and someone has carefully written in Vauxhall and Bedford in pen by the looks of it - perhaps an indication of a new dealership to come and suggested lettering for that to be advertised? The brands of petrol on sale have changed slightly, Esso and Dominion have replaced ROP and BP. The prices of the cars are eye watering - £28, £69, one down the side to the left is just £19! They are I think second hand mind.
The KLG clock is great to see along with all the other signs hanging in various locations. Perhaps most interesting of all is seeing Terraplane advertised, apparently a car brand and model built by the Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, between 1932 and 1938.
