It . . A . . . jJ .......... 1 Firm to rely on over the years


THE impressive Bawdlands premises must seem a mil­ lion miles away from what 21-year-old Rufus Carr had in mind when he launched his business hack in 11)28. But at the age of 83 years young, Mr Carr still


maintains a healthy interest in the company and is ils active chairman. The first garage that lie built, at Rimington. mea­


sured just 21ft. by 3()ft. and cost Kid. During the second world war, ho struggled on,


working very long hours. Fortunately for the busi­ ness, all the farmers had to plough their land and so needed tractors, which Mr Carr supplied and serviced. By l!)f>(), he had the Fordson Tractor agency and was


able to build an additional brick building, which was much larger, and acquired Bawdlands Garage, Clith­ eroe, to expand his business. Gradually, Bawdlands concentrated mostly on Ford ears and Rimington on Land-Rovers and tractors.


It. has not only been a smooth road, for when the


company was on a high note, disaster struck in 1!)73. Fire completely burnt out the Bawdlands garage and insurance only covered about a third of the total loss. Some £50,000 worth of damage was done and for a time a caravan had to he used on the forecourt for petrol sales. However, the Carr family decided to try and build


up the business again and in 1078 a new MoT bay was built and equipped. In the following year, new offices were erected over the existing showroom and the workshop was extended. The new showroom was officially opened eight years


ago, lint its history stretches back into the nineteenth century. It was used as early as 1S70 by Thomas Stin­ ger for the manufacture of horse-drawn carriages, while the new showroom previously housed Hmilker’s plumbing firm, founded at a similar date.

ONE of the Ribble Valley’s oldest family firms is gearing itself up for the 21st century with a brand


new look. Rufus Carr, Ford


agents in the area, enters a new era oil Wednesday, when it combines the opening of its extended ltawdlands premises with a special open day to publicise tire new-look Ford Escort and Orion.


“We are striving to


provide a more comfortable and efficient service to the customer,” said managing director Mr Fred Kemp.


The ambitious project is


the latest stage in a daunting list of improvements which have


been made at the site. \ "S V , .

spacious showroom has been completely refurbished so that you can view the latest Ford models in the utmost comfort. Modem lighting and


heating systems have been installed to help make the showroom as attractive and comfortable as possible. All your Ford needs,


such as interior cleaners, paints, in-ear entertainment and special road wheels, are available from the newly-equipped accessory shop, while a lounge, with television and video, is now situated in the service reception and car hire area. Added to this are the


MoT bay, the workshop and hotly repair section and the extensive parking


space behind the premises.


Rufus Carr's workshops


can execute all mechanical repairs, servicing and MoTs — and, should you have tlie misfortune to lie involved in an accident, the bodyshop is fully equipped with a ear bench for accuracy and Dupont paints to restore your


vehicle to a pre-accident


gleam. The hire department


maintains a fleet of saloons and light vans, all low mileage, with up-to-date


specifications. Should you be a member


of the DlS' fraternity, the parts department and garage shop can turnish you with parts and access­ ories at competitive cash and carry prices. The sales team is led by

servicing-data lias now been put on computer, so information, for example, as to when your ear’s next servjce is due, will be available at the touch of a button. . A new first-flour


administration block, managed by Mrs Gillian Brennan, has been constructed and its plush surroundings include toilets, waiting area and


lounge. Although the premises


look purpose-built, the showroom has in fact been created by demolishing adjacent cottages which were originally earmarked as office accommodation. I11 keeping with the


appearance of the area — and preserving a link with the past — most of the stonework from the cottages now provides tin- display area for Ford's newest models. The firm hopes that tin-


new look will lead to a big increase in car sales in all types of models, including tile Fiesta. Escort, Orion. .Sierra and Granada. Invitations to attend the


official opening have been sent to customers old and now. Eaeli ticket lias a special number which, when presented at the garage on Wednesday, will lie entered into a prize draw. Other attractions include an electronic golf-swing analyser and a racing car simulator.
