In the mid-'80s, Ford stopped being Auto-Stock's official dealer, and Joseph stood alone as an independent business.
Following Joseph death in the ‘90s, his family were said to be left with a stash of at least 300 cars - with around half unused Fords.
His widow soon closed the dealership but struggled to sell the remaining then cars.
For unknown reasons, Mrs Stock put aside seven cars for her grandchildren, six of which remain in the showroom to this day.
