They closed the shop around the late eighties, where it lay empty until the glass windows were boarded up and turned into a temple of some sort. They had a small lock up unit around the back but I never saw anything like a racecar workshop around there. I went in there as punter only once to look at a Piper roadcar, the man running the show (a south african I recall) told me he raced in F1 (really.?) and an orange McLaren single seater (possibly a F5000 as it ran on carbs) was sat in the showroom. I recall they sold mainly second hand fast road cars, with a few racecars (saloons & single seaters) always present in the small showroom, glassfronted on two sides allowing two views of the cars at the front.
As a child living just around the corner and my mum working in the adjacent office (Greenshield stamps, remember them.?), I often used to do the schoolboy thing of face pressed to the window and stared at the cars.
I recall the chequered flag in Edgware, It was around at least from the early seventies.
