I am tracing the history of my Rickman and have come across two dealer names associated with my bike: Albion Street Motors (which traded in the '70s) and Adrian Smeet Motorcycles (which must have been trading in the early '80s) but have no addresses or other details.
Does anyone know of these dealers?

Bill,
I had a play at work today on a website that hosts company records including dissolved and dormant ones.
Not sure if this is the right company but I found:-
Albion Street Motors (1978) Ltd
523 Barlow Moor Road
Chorlton-Cum-Hardy
Manchester
M21 2AQ
Incorporated 26/10/1978
Company number 01396163
No trace on Adrian Smeet Motorcycles?
Cheers
Dave
