I was sat in the reception of one of my companies, a very large engineering firm.
With time to kill started to flick through a nostalgia book on the table.
I came across this.

It’s a dealership in Huddersfield.

From what I see about a garage called Paddock Motors (Huddersfield) Ltd - the firm started 23 December 1970 and no longer exists.

Boyes were the factory appointed dealer in Hudderfield. https://vitessesteve.blogspot.com/2019/ ... field.html

Thats not to say Paddock did not sell Triumphs but probably only used cars or one-offs by special arrangement

In addition to the rear window sticker image I have this photo of a branded yellow duster.
