Welcome!
Ever thought how nice it would be to escape from the monotony of having to put up with a sea of silver plastic Eurobubbles driven by scowling, foul-mouthed drivers? Or having to take your classic to a garage that resembles an operating theatre - complete with young “car-doctors” in latex gloves ready to “diagnose” your car? Unfortunately in today's world where every brand name has to be in lower case and motoring geared to cheap finance for overpriced gagetry rather than its ease of maintenance, it seems the days of proper motoring are fast disappearing and many of us wish we could turn the clock back 20, 30, or 40 years to happier times of friendly local garages, unspoilt open roads, and proper beer served at fantastic country pubs along the way!

We support the environment too - creating a new Eurobox or expensive electric toy takes as much energy to PRODUCE IT as an older car uses in its ENTIRE lifetime, so it makes sense to recycle, repair and re-use - and this includes older cars...you could also do a bit more for the environment now by buying one of those mamby-pamby "patio heaters" and waste even more finite energy and increase CO2. You could even make numerous polluting journeys in your car to the local tip with your plastic or glass bottles because the council doesn't want to pick them up..
What is Petroliana and how did it all begin?
Petroliana is the term given to vintage and classic petrol and oil company related items produced from the early 1900s to the 1980s, including enamel advertising signs, cans, and petrol pumps and globes. In the early days fuel for motor cars was known as "Motor Spirit" sold through local chemists, hardware stores and the like in 2 Gallon cans. The first public Petrol Pumps appeared at the roadside outside premises in large towns and cities in around 1915.The last contributors to the decline in our local filling stations were the idiotic eradication almost overnight of Pumps dispensing Gallons by the Euro-muppets and the need to have simultaneous vapour recovery: tanker extracts vapour from the underground tanks at the same time as filling up.
The new tanks were supposedly safer and more "environmentally friendly" but upon speaking to one previous garage owner, when asked what happens to the collected vapour, the tanker driver said "oh we just release it into the atmosphere" - now, how environmentally concious is that?
Euro-muppet Buster -current petrol prices in English!
£4:27p PER GALLON = (93.9p litre) - for a rough calculation, multiply litre prices by 4.5...
We look forward to seeing you!
