Title: Help tracing name of the selling dealer for my HPE back in '77
Post by: johnb on October 14, 2013, 11:16:46 PM
Hi
I'm trying to pull together the history of my HPE. Does anybody know who was the Lancia dealer in Peterborough (or nearest to Peterborough) back in 1977?

Cheers
John

Hi

Just done this, took around 2 months to get the details back, but they did come back with all the owners etc. Well worth a fiver in my book.

I've got one of the original blue books that came with the cars, listing all dealers,UK and worldwide.
Not sure how long it would take me to find it, but i'll gladly get the info if you still need it.

Regards, N.

Hello
Thanks for all your replies. Selling dealer for my S registered 1977 HPE was Wallis & Sons of Cambridge. Still trading today in Cambridge as an independent motor trader :)
Registered to the dealer originally - demonstrator or courtesy car perhaps. Then to lady doctor owner from October 1977 for first 3 years, then same owner 1980 till 2005! Then sold to Colin Joy who I bought it off.

Cheers
