Lancaster Garages in Norwich?

[chalda]

While trying to find out more about the history of a Mercedes-Benz Crayford estate conversion that I bought in the Essex area in 2007, I found a sticker in the windscreen of the car that says:

Lancaster Serviced
Ferrari and Porsche Main Dealers
"My Car Was In Good Company"
Norwich [phone]



Does this company still exist? The car may have been serviced there in the 80s or 90s. I would love to find out whether any documentation/service record may still exist at this garage.

Thanks a lot! Chris

They used to have a dealership on Hall road in Norwich, probably over 20 years ago now.
