Colmore Depot

Does anyone recall a TVR dealer called Colmore Depot in Birmingham?

[thegamekeeper]

There was a general car retailer in Manchester for years called Colmore depot but they were not TVR dealers

I remember my Dad doing some work for Colmore Depot in Birmingham delivering cars but they were Fiats and the occasional Ferrari! Don’t know if they did TVRs thou’ sorry. This was late 70s early 80s.

They were Morris dealers of long standing in Brum.I had a Forces export scheme (NO TAX!) Mini 850 from them in 1961 £350 !! I don't recall them as a TVR
specialist though, the MD Bob Charlesworth had a Daytona for a while though !!!

Hi everyone,

I have done some research on Colmore depot limited. They started of as a morris dealer in Birmingham as early as 1933 I think but ended up selling other makes. I have found evidence of garages in Liverpool and Worcester. The worcester garage first registered the number plate PFK 10 onto a Morris Utility on 19th December 1956. The number is now on one of my cars hence my interest in Colmore Depots. Anyone got any info on the worcester depot??

I HAVE A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF COLMORE DEPOT LTD @WORCESTER AS I WORKED AT THERE LEICESTER DEPOT. HOWEVER WE HAD REGULAR CONTACT AND AS WE WERE THE M.G AND WOLSELEY MAIN DEALERS CAN ONLY ASSUME THEY WERE LIKEWISE. THEIR SALES MANAGER WAS A BLOKE CALLED PATRICK GOOCH ,HOPEFULLY MIGHT GIVE YOU A LEAD.Regareds

Colmore Depot. I remember it. It was a Ferrari dealership by the Hawthorne, probably late 80s.

That should be the time it takes to work through all these threads on pistonheads.
