Does anyone remember the name of the old Honda dealer in Stanmore in the 70's and 80's ?

Is that Stanmore, Middlesex Trigger? I never knew there was a dealer around there, the nearest Honda dealer to Stanmore I remember was Rex Judd in Mill Hill (and they also had a place in West Hampstead before it became trendy).

Yes Dave, Middlesex. I remember going to Rex Judd Burnt Oak Broadway, Edgware but, that was the 90's and one down in Kilburn.
When did Rex Judd open and close down in Mill Hill ?

A lot of NOS parts I got a few years back had Rex Judd dealer Honda labels on them. I guess they must have closed and someone must have bought their parts stock.

He did, about 20 years ago at the Edgware (Mill Hill) store. They lost 400 bikes according to reports. Apparently Rex Judd is still going although I think it's more of a scooter shop these days. Scooters are really big in London and ridden by maniacs who may or may not have a licence and most definitely no insurance for business use when it comes to delivering food and Costa coffee to lazy idiots who can't be bothered to get up off their sofas.
