There was actually a new dealer in SW7 in 1955 just off the Brompton Rd in South Ken. Believe it or not, I drove past the location this very morning! What was the address of the first owner?

How dew know that then? :lol: Car arrived in the UK in May, do you have any idea when that dealership opened?
First owner lived in Roland Gardens which is off Brompton Rd so perhaps he just walked around the corner! :lol: Must try and track him or the family down, there's gotta be a story there.
Out of interest I emailed VAG at Milton Keynes to ask if they had any old photos/details etc. Not surprisingly they can back with the answer, and I quote:
"Thank you for your recent enquiry. I am afraid that given the age of this dealership Volkswagen UK do not have any information on this matter. I would recommend perhaps contacting the chamber of commerce for the area to see if they have records for this period. Sorry that we cant be of any more assistance"
