Shell - Bristol Street Motors, 313-321 Banbury Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire 28th April 1978
This outlet of Bristol Street Motors was just a year or so from closing down. I don't know if that meant once the premises were vacated they were demolished for redevelopment or if they were taken over by some other business. So far I haven't been able to work out exactly where on Banbury Road this was.
We see enough of the forecourt to see it is Shell branded and with a row of pumps, but the main focus of the photo is the cars. Some pretty nice but affordable ones on show and a Simca 1100.
Edit Update:- Thanks to SPS1955 location now found.
