George Victor Searle's garage business at 67A Rampart Road operated in Salisbury during the late 1920s to the early thirties. The garage was located at the bottom of Milford Hill at its junction with Rampart Road. Along with many others, the building was demolished in the 1960s when the Churchill Way flyover was constructed. I welcome any suggestions as to the identity of the vehicle in the photo, although I think it's probably a Model T Ford Roadster, possibly modified. UPDATE: having contacted the Model T Ford Register www.modeltregister.co.uk (a club for Model T Ford enthusiasts) they concluded that it is not a Model T. They very kindly did some research on my behalf and a consensus of their enthusiasts concluded that it may be a Chevrolet FB with an English body.
