Monza Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Howdy fellow Opel nuts! I know this ain't the right place to post this - but I couldn't find anywhere else...Sorry! Do any of you have a list of dealers from the mid-80's??? I am trying to find out which dealership supplied my Monza when it was new and whilst I've got every other booklet with the car, I haven't got a dealer guide! As far as I can make out, it always lived around the Waterlooville area of Portsmouth until I bought her in 1990, so I think it would have been supplied by a local agent/dealer to that area - any ideas??? I have looked on the service book but the dealers stamp is too smudged - due partly to 'dampness' from sitting in the passengers footwell all these years. Any ideas would be welcome! Regards - Guy.

Thanks for the tip though mate! Regards - Guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exclusive Opel Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Taken from the Vauxhall Opel Service Location Guide (1982): United Services Garage Ltd Vauxhall House London Road Hilsea PO2 9QZ Don't know if they were just a recommend garage for servicing or supplied cars as well. There is a Vauxhall garage there now with the same post code. You can see it via Google maps Google. Click on the red marker (A) then street view.

1900SR Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The same dealer is listed on my Dec 86 map. There were also dealers in Gosport (Royan Garage, Forton Road), Fareham (Wadham Stringer, West Street) and Havant (United Services Garage, Bedhamton). I take it the car doesn't have the original dealer plates on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
