[Healeys] Question about Calif. defunct British Car delers

[BJ8 Healeys]

Rod, I don't know whether this is any help, but attached is an excerpt of a
list of BMC distributors and dealers for North America that includes all of
them for California.  The list is not dated as far as I can tell, but is an
official publication.  Unfortunately, I do not see any listing for a
dealership or distributor in Anaheim.

If any of the information is not legible, please let me know.

Good luck in your search!

Hi Rick,

I've been trying to remember the place where I purchased my first
Lotus Elan (of many since) in 1969.  It was a 1964 purchased used from
a large British car dealership in Anaheim.  The place might have been
a distributorship.  They handled all the BMC marques and was named
something like British Motors or British Car Distributors, British
Motor Corporation of Anaheim or something like that.  I seem to
remember that it was near a freeway offramp, though which freeway, I
can't recall.

A few years before, I actually had also bought a 1957 Hillman Commer
Cob (like a Husky but a panel truck instead of with side windows)
there (with a later OHV Hillman engine installed) from them.  It was
their parts delivery vehicle and they were upgrading to something
else.

What I'm looking for is the correct name and possibly, address of the
place.  This is just for my records as I am trying to trace my
automotive history, particularly, my long Lotus history.... all the
cars

Thanks for any help, Rick.
