Classic fan sought to buy Scottish garage
The owner of a Scottish garage dating back to the 1920s has put the site – and the classic cars and spares that come with it – up for sale.
George Chatto, who has owned Aberdeenshire Premnay Garage since 1986, said he was keen to focus on his own classics and for the site and its treasure trove of unrestored classics and parts to find a new owner.
He said: ‘I took over the garage in 1986 and have run it ever since, but I’m already semi-retired now and, to be honest, things have slipped a little bit as a result. I’m looking to retire fully, keep a few of my own classics and just tinker with them, so I’m keen for the garage to go to a new owner.
‘I’ve got a quite a few classic cars on the site and there are plenty of spares, and I’d be happy to sell them on with the business.’
Among the unrestored classics are an accident-damaged NSU Ro80, a Citroën 2CV, an Austin 1300 and a Riley Pathfinder. In addition, there are parts for Triumph Spitfire and Vitesse models, and several Hillman Minxes in varying states of repair.
George is keen to hear from CCfS users who would be keen to take over the garage business, based opposite the Hunter’s Moon pub in Auchleven, as a going concern. Interested parties can contact George on 01464 820372.
