At the time i was working as a car salesman for hampden cars in cathcart. i didnt take the job as hampden cars offered me a slightly better job but nevertheless i was very chuffed to have been offered a job at appleyards as they were highly regarded in the motor trade......how the years pass by
Doug wrote:It could well be RDR its such a long time ago i cant recall what Appleyards address was but as it was a main franchised dealership a Taggart takeover does make sense. Thanks for the response
