Sad news..
Just sharing the statement from Blanchards Ltd below. Like most specialists we use Blanchards repository of historical parts to aid our overseas customers and source obsolete reference components for reproduction.
"It is with the deepest regret that we have to inform you that, after a short battle with cancer, our founder, Mr. Peter Blanchard, passed away peacefully at home last night.
Pete started the business in the late 1960s from his garage at home, and it quickly grew into more than he ever expected. This was due to his hard work, dedication, and commitment to both the Land Rover marque and to his customers.
We believe we still carry that same commitment to our customer base today and, as Pete used to say, “We’re not happy unless you are.”
As a mark of respect, we will be closed tomorrow, 11th May 2026.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to our customers." https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DWZdSFUFk/
Emberton Imperial Ltd will be open as usual tomorrow.
