I unofficially worked at "7552" from '85-'97, leaving when Doug moved to NV. He busies himself by going to about every swap around trolling for rare literature/promo items to peddle on ebay.

Everything reminds me of a story and this is no exception. In the '70s Doug had a wrecked '69 convert rebuilt as a Z11 [who cared in those days?] and set to collect all of the promo items related to it. An inveterate card player, he had a local promotional company manufacture hundreds of decks of cards with the Z11 post card photo on the back, many of which were sold through Old Cars. I've seen them displayed as "rare promotional items"; you would think the 1976 copyright on the carton would be a clue.

Many names familiar to the hobby passed through the doors: Normann, Drueck, Cunneen, Esse, Hampton, Bulaw, Dyer, Pearse, to name a few and in the summer there were always neat cars around in addition to the '67 Z/28 and ZL1 that lived there.

As I said, all gone now.
