Description
About Carpenters of Hampton Court
Carpenters is a family run business (established in 1934) who's aim is to make buying a used car both an easy and enjoyable experience.
The name Carpenter has been associated with motor transport since before the First World War. The present owner's Grandfather, Edward Carpenter, worked for Darracq, then as a driver for Waring and Gillow, the furniture company, when driving was a unique occupation.
Unfortunately at the outbreak of World War 1 he was commandeered together with his lorry and sent to France, then to Mesapotania (now Iraq), sadly not to return. His two sons, Edward and Edgar Carpenter were selling motor vehicles as early as 1921 and founded the motor business in Brixton in 1934, and, apart from the war years, Carpenters autos has been in existence ever since, now at their sales premises at Hampton Court since 1950.
