Do you remember London Road Motors?

Do you remember London Road Motors? This small car dealership was situated next to The Woodpecker Pub between Waterlooville and Cowplain.

The business was located here in the 1950’s till 2011, London Road Motors is still going strong today and is located on Hayling Island.

My mum bought a metallic blue Mini Metro Vadan Plas from from this dealership; sadly less then 30 examples of this version of the Metro are still on UK roads!

If you ever bought a car from here, let us know in the comments?

This site is now the location of a Tesco Express.

    My son bought his first car as a student in the 90s a CitroenAX he saved hard and was very proud. Later gave his car to his cousin. Gave not sold! He went to Uni and achieved a degree in Automotive Engineering and Design. Now a top designer at Nissan in Bedford in design and research. Drives at this moment in time a Leaf electric car.

    Remember it well just down the road on London Road, many cars bought here over the years by family including myself. Pity as I observed going past it everyday they suffered a surge in serious vandalism after dark against the premise front toward the end of their days there. Nice to know still succeeding and prospering in Hayling.
