I'm sure that's the Canada Road (Oyster Lane) premises. I was working there when we, (BMW Concessionaires GB Ltd), moved in to use it as a new car preparation centre for the Park Lane and Langley Motors sites operated under subsidiary company, BMW Distributors (London) Ltd. It was a good premises to work in and I can picture the inside very clearly, even though we're now 50 years on! At the far end, 2 large radial BMW radial engines lurked, awaited restoration.
