The original Horners business was established in 1922 as an Austin dealership. Over the years, F Horner & Son became a landmark on Bury New Road. The Horners family sold out in 1986. They also had a Vespa and Lambretta dealership on Ayres Road, Old Traffold.

Hello, sorry if this post is rather late, but it seems Horners Motor Group went into administration in July 2008 and had considerably downsized since the collapse of MG Rover three years earlier in April 2005 from the looks of things? 🚗
