Kirbys - Hillman Minx

I was an apprentice mechanic at Kirby s Clifford rd Blackpool .the manager then was jack chambers .a great place to work it was like a family back in 1967.

Worked for Kirby s in Blackpool in the 1960s.as an apprentice motor mechanic made some good pals there .loved every minute of it .the main showroom was church street and the repair workshops were Clifford road Blackpool.great days.

I was a resident in Maghull, Kirbys were not far from where I lived. I bought my first Hillman Imp from them, a 1964 Mk1.

I used that for about two years then late in 1967 I placed an order for a new Sunbeam Stiletto. I took delivery in January 1968, one of the best cars I ever owned.

I did 19,000 miles in it over ten months, sold it then moved to Cape Town , South Africa, I am still here.

I worked as an apprentice mechanic from 1966 at the blackpool branch ,great staff loved it .the manager then was jack chambers.

I was working at the Liverpool branch at this time. I believe there were the Kensington and Duke street locations.
Would be interesting to hear from any of the old employees. I remember quite a few.
I am in Canada.
