Hi Neil;
I worked at Dick Irwins from 1976 to about 1979, and I'm wondering if you were related to Brian Murphy and his brother in the shop. Brian moved to Kelowna and opened a transmission shop, but sadly, died of Cancer about 10 years ago.
Also wondering if my light green 70 W-31 was originally sold there. I bought it off the used car lot in 76, and it was a factory white painted roof car.
In about 1976 they cleaned out a storage room of all the old records and unused sales stuff into a dunpster. I managed to save quite a bit of stuff, but sadly, lots got away!

can you share some photos of the items you were able to save, do you have any that you might part with? i am trying to locate anything i can about the dealership for display with my 68 L78 camino.

the salesman's name on my orig bill of sale looks like D Mcdowell , ring any bells?

----You have a really nice find there! Nicely optioned, and Corvette Bronze with Tobacco interior as well. That combo is stunning as you probably already know. We need more pics......Bill S

first time post. I have recently purchased a big block 65 vette that was originally sold at Mander.

I am in search of Neil Murphy who has previously posted on this site. Failing that, if anyone has a Neil Murphy signature for comparison purposes that would also be very helpful.

I have posted a car pic and a single page from the warranty booklet.

I sent a note to one of the members that owns a couple serious Mander cars.

Two of the mechanics there were Murphys, brothers, and I can't remember their names. Neil might have been another brother.
