F C Purcer 434/452 Old Kent Road, London

I'll get out with my camera and take a decent photo, had a look at your stand was a bit busy, wouldn't mind getting plates etc made up.

I have emailed a couple of photo to you. and had a quick play with the colour on this one think it should be blue and gold or silver background. Thanks John

I have a fair few dealer stickers and plate text kicking around, might be worth a sticky thread with a load of pics to aid the re manufacture

Hi Jerry,
I was looking at a repro tax disc today and wondered which was the nearest Post Office to FC Purser was. 

On Google there is one shown at 240 Old Kent Road - do you know if it's a long standing PO? 

I'm trying to find out if newly purchased cars were taxed at the PO or via DVLA in 1984 so I can get the correct details on the disc.

Thanks for any help folks. 

Hi Dano… 240 is still currently a post office but I cannot tell you how long they have been open…. I've been there just over 20 years but used to use the one on Borough High Street. If you want I can find out when Im back in the UK.

Thanks Jerry. 

I was only wondering what dealerships did 'back in the day'. At 17 when my car was new there's no way Id be in the market for a new car so I have no idea if they taxed at the PO or DVLA - does anyone else know/ remember???

If you are passing the PO and aren't too embarrassed to ask a strange question then it would
be good to know.

Thanks, Dan

Hi Dano

Well I've had mine 30 yrs this year and have always taxed at the post office, but can still double check for you.

Hi Dano… Well I had to go to the post office on Old Kent Rd yesterday and remembered your request. They said they had been there for about 60 years. 

Thanks Jerry. 

So the next question would be… Would the dealership send 'the boy' to tax the new cars at the local post office or wod they be done via DLVA/ Swansea? 

The local PO could have been pretty busy at the start of the month, especially August when the new plates came out!!
