My Grandad worked at Manchester Garages, Ken Long, I often went to Belle Vue for the stock car racing with him, I believe they sponsored the events.
I remember when he won the use of a White Capri 3.0s for the month as top salesman and he drove me down the east lancs road at 120mph, happy days.
Ken had fond memories of his years there, he passed in 2007, but was always a Ford man, which is why I’ve had many over the years. 😊
