Fowlers Garage Newport IOW

Post by trevor groves »

Hi All
I am looking for information,on Fowlers Garage High Street Newport IOW.
The Garage is long gone,but I am looking for history,photos,ads etc.
Fowlers,supplied my Traveller new in 1963 657 CDL,I am told the first Owner lived to a great age,and the car stayed on the IOW until the early 1980s.
The plan is to take the car back over sometime,for photos etc.
Thanks for any help or advice.

I have made a few contacts on the IOW,and the plan is to go over next year,our East Kent Group is planning a trip,next May?
It will be about 35 years since my Traveller left the IOW,so time for a trip back Home!!
I have been told that a moggie with a DL number plate will receive a warm welcome,so cannot wait for the trip
regards
Trevor
