Tracing a Matchless dealer of the past
Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2023 12:35 pm
Good morning to all,
I'm researching the history of my 1947 G3L . The Certificate of Authenticity shows the dealer as being "Taylors".
The original index number, retained, would indicate that the motorcycle was first registered in Central London. However, that might not indicate, with any accuracy, where this particular dealership was located. I use 'was' as my research, thus far, fails to reveal any such motorcycle dealership.
Maybe someone has some local knowledge or researched this before? Is there a historical list of motorcycle dealerships?
Any information would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Steve
