Esso - Kennington Service Station, The Avenue, Kennington, Oxfordshire OX1 5PN 7th November 1968
This is a great image of the Kennington Service Station in Oxford who were Simca dealers and serving Esso petrol. As you can read in the story that went with this, the reason for the photo was to promote a Simca Motorcade through Oxford the following day with eight cars being used for the event along with scantily dressed girls, obligatory for the era!
I cannot work out where this garage was and given fifty five years have passed and several bypass roads have been built nearby it's perfectly possible that this garage was swallowed up by that process.
Below you can see the news story that went with this photo.
Edit Update:- Thanks to Dan Lockton the location is found.
