Motor House Ltd, Westward Road, Ebley, Stroud held the Standard Triumph franchase for many years.  The first listing I have is from September 1968.  The last listing I have is May 1975.

I understand they opened as a Triumph dealer in 1964.  They company is still trading in Stroud.

The original Motor House Ltd, Westward Road, Ebley site has now built over by 90 houses.
