Geoghegan & Sons Ashfield - where did they advertise? Tracking a 1963 Alfa Sprint

[Ray Bell]

I don't remember much about Frank Crott Motors, but it's altogether possible it was not the kind of car they usually stocked, maybe a trade-in on a 'sensible family car' or something.

In such situations it was not at all unusual for dealers to 'wholesale' cars to other members of the trade. Often a batch of cars might be traded in this way, especially if one dealer wanted a particular car but the other needed to be rid of others as well.

Just to put a possible scenario... let's say Frank Crott had also taken an Elan as a trade-in, the Geoghegans might have been short of used Elans and thought it a good idea to buy this one. Frank Crott might say, "Okay, but you have to take that Alfa too. I don't want to be stuck with servicing that."

Friday Mirrors and Suns might reveal what type of cars Frank Crott usually sold...
