Broadfields Garage, Cockfosters part 2 - Triumph Car Dealers 42A

This is my second article about Broadfields Garage & Engineering Co Ltd, Standard House, Cockfosters in North London.  This time I am covering the subject of Standard Triumph Sales and Service Weeks in more detail.  You can read part 1 here:

Cars undergoing- inspection and report by Standard Service Engineers.

For many years Standard Triumph Distributors and Dealers throughout the country held Annual Standard and Triumph Service Weeks. These are usually staged in cooperation with the Standard Service and Spares Division who sent special displays. Standard Service Engineers attended ready to give owners the advantage of their special knowledge.

A special display of Genuine Standard Spares. Always look for the
sign of genuine parts denoted by the word STANPART

Standard and Triumph owners in the area were invited to bring their cars in for inspection during the period so that they could be reported upon by the Standard experts free of charge. The increasing popularity of these Service Weeks is reflected in the following records over a period of seven years kept by Broadfields Garage & Engineering Co. Ltd.

A special display at Broadfields Service Week to show some of the
special Stanpart Accessories available.

Many senior members of The Standard Motor Co. Ltd attended the first day of the Service Week at Broadfields Garage and Engineering Co. Ltd in 1958. Among those who can be recognised are right to left --Mr.F. E. Higham, Director of Home Sales; Mr.P. W.Bingham, London Manager; Mr. H. E. Pugh, Spares Manager; Colonel Ronald Maude; Mr. N. A. G. Black, Spares Executive, London.
