Jarvis Sons Morden Road Morden
A Memory of Morden.
I was an apprentice motor mechanic at Jarvis & Sons from 1957 until 1963, a most interesting time in my life. We had an unofficial motor bike club and did some lovely Sunday runs around the Surrey countryside. It wuld be nice to hear from anyone who was there at the same time as myself, either from the fitters at the time or from any of the apprentices. A Mr Fullock was the Foreman, he was very strict with us boys, but very fair. I worked with a fitter, a Mr Pat Simms, a Mr Charlie Upfield and others. I was at Jarvis & Sons when the first Mini came on the market, such a long time ago.
If any one is out there, please make contact.

I have a photo of the presentation. Fred moved to Dawlish and survived until he was 93, so Jarvis wasn't that bad! John Phillips
Douglas Bader used to bring in his Alvis convertible regularly for
Fred to appraise.
You mentioned Douglas Bader his MG was a VA and and Fred Mony's mod was the clutch and brake pedals were around the clutch was In the middle and the brake was on the left and the drivers seat runners allowed seat could move back about 18 20 inches so that he could get in and Fred was the only one allowed to drive it, also Fred's office all the technical books and manuals, but you could ask Fred anything and would have the answer. Every name you have mentioned I remember them and more,, I went on into Sales Department and later ended at the Braned showroom
