Doverhay Garage , Porlock, Somerset

We take for granted our ability to jump in the car and go off on a Motor Tour but back in the 1920/30's it was a lot different and a journey then to the West Country was probably a far greater adventure than we can imagine - poor roads, worries about reliability of the vehicle and of course, motor spirit supplies. Marc and Laura, on their recent tour, found reminders of just what the past would have been like when they visited Doverhay Garage in Porlock and our thanks of appreciation go to them for sending in these images so that we can share in their experience of a trip with so many memories. Our thanks also to 'Exmoor Classic Cars' whose collection can be found at Doverhay Garage, High Street, Porlock, Somerset, TA24 8PS. If you find yourself on a tour of the West Country pop in and enjoy their collection and help to preserve our motoring heritage. Contact Exmoor Classic Cars on 07970 497741 or 01643 841476 for up-to-date details on opening times etc.

Your contributions are important and welcomed. Each image sent in helps to make the past a little bit clearer.

If sending images please send as large as possible as this helps with cropping and resizing whilst still maintaining a minimum quality of the original. Images between 1000 and 2000 pixels are preferred. Unfortunately we may not be able to use your image if it is too small.

We do not assume copyright of any image sent in but we do reserve the right to use any image to give the best use and effect for Vintage Garage, and to retain that use. We are pleased to give photo credits but some contributors prefer to remain anonymous. We will assume the latter unless you inform us otherwise.

If any images you send in are personal and you wish them to be marked to deter copying then please let us know and we will put a 'Protected' marker on them. This will not prevent copying but will make the image unviable accept for any personal use.

Where possible, please let us have any dates, makers names or model numbers or any other detail which will help to explain your images.

We take this opportunity of saying thanks to all those contributors who have given so generously in the past.
