Bulldog - Bluebird Motors, 8 Station Rd, Tiptree, Essex CO5 0AD 1990 1
Here's a final set of photos showing the brand changing at Bluebird Motors though the 1990s. Starting here in 1990 when it was Bulldog branded, the garage would have a brief spell as a Little David before that brand was discontinued by Fina and the garage became a Butler site as all Arndale and Little David sites did in about 1994 except for those that changed to a totally new supplier or closed.
We can see two Avery Hardoll pedestal pumps making up the small forecourt, the green one would be diesel I imagine and the white one four star. The lovely Bluebird garage exists to the present day and is still carrying Butler branding although the only pump now on site is now branded Total. Below you can see its transition through Little David branding and on to Butler. Here's the Streetview from 2009
