Huxhams of Parkstone - Triumph car dealers 21B

Huxham Ltd of Parkstone feature in this short post about a Standard Triumph car dealer in the Bournemouth area

Huxhams advert 30 April 1955

In 1955 Huxhams, Pen Hill Garage, Parkstone, Dorset were agents for AC, Morgan, Morris, Riley, Rover, Standard and Triumph cars in 1955.

By 1959 Sherwood's Car Sales, 6 Rosemary Road, Parkstone were the Triumph franchise holder in Parkstone.

In 1961 I have a reference to Huxhams as having been a Land Rover dealer.  In 1963 they were still Morgan dealers.

In 1965 Huxhams are again mentioned as Standard Triumph dealers.  When did they lose the franchise?
