pukar wrote:kedge.....WOW!! i did not think i would ever see a western counties rear window sticker. this is where my car is from. i believe western counties became dick lovettt swindon. not sure if it would have been white as the white on the bmw roundel is still ok. reds tend to fade first....perhaps it was gold? i have the original read dealer plates so was wondering what the rear window sticker looked like. dont suppose you have a tax disc holder as i was planning to get this done at some point...
Affraid thats all that's on the car, will check for anything in the door shuts/boot for anything but don't think anything is there. Came so close to removing it as well, let me know if you need anymore pics/measurements.

Just want to find out if that is where my car came from originally, if your doing repro's for Western Counties and that's where mine came from i'll be intouch :wink: .

Wow! Never heard of the Sevenoaks BMW dealer being called Euromotors.

Its now Cooper BMW but was Vines in the mid-mate 80's and then L&C before becoming Cooper.

the best thing about Dick Lovett is when ring them up and nice lady with a husky voice pics up and says

"good morning, dick love it"

and you ask her "do you really ? "

childish but funny

If any one wants to know the selling dealer of their car they can ring their local dealer with reg number & chassis number and they can tell you.
