Sherwood Motors, 1957

The car dealership in the foreground at 1:20 in this film, Sherwood Motors, is where my 1956 Rover P4 90 was first purchased new in January 1957. This was filmed by CBC in Vancouver in 1957. My car is still badged with Sherwood Motors, and I have the original purchase invoice.
Amazingly, the purchaser lived in Victoria, BC in a house on Cook St., right next door to where my wife was living as a child at the time. She does not remember the car, and we did not purchase the car until 56 years later, with the history and connections unbeknownst to us.
