Subject: Hockley Tools Birmingham as Lagonda dealers?
Some 20 years ago my car was possibly owned by one of the directors of a company called Hockley Tools in Birmingham. I say possibly because I have not established if it was actually owned by the company or the individual. However, I understand Hockley Tools made jigs & tracks for the Longbridge production line at the time of the Austin Maxi. It became the property of a Mr Harold Cross who was a senior manager at Longbridge (allegedly) in exchange for him placing contracts with Hockley Tools.
I am also told that Hockley Tools restored and sold Lagondas as a side line. Anyone on here remember them dealing or working on lagondas back then?
