Better lighting on the nearside so you can see the edge of the road?

That radiator mascot is a bit too big, I think...

I think the building has gone, but the garage is still there, right opposite the Motor Musem at Gaydon, I tootle past it quite regularly.

Ivor do you know any history about the garage, like when it opened and closed?
