Philpotts Garage in Ramsgate?

My Morris has a small sign on the handglove compartment with the name of a garage. Probably the garage who sold the car the first time (or at least sold the lid of the handglove compartment
). See picture.
It says:
Philpotts Garage
Canterburyroad
Ramsgate
The original reg.number of the car is LOO 302C (as it was imported from UK to NL)
Does anyone know if this garage still exists? And are they still selling Morris?

Yes and if thr Morris does break down here, at least you won't get confused looks from the mechanics

Well it survived the last time it came over from UK, so i'll try again (by boat)
BTW It will get wet anyway, because it's always raining in the UK
at least you won't get confused looks from the mechanics
Thanks Ray, I'll tell her I can count on you when we have trouble.

great! I've been promoted to honorary mechanic
BTW It will get wet anyway, because it's always raining in the UK
If it rains for 2 weeks, you can get right across England by boat! (you might have to live within 5 miles of an English river to understand that one...)
