History
MOT's
in the UK became compulsory from 1960 on all vehicles. All domestic
cars were required to have their brakes, lights and steering
checked (commercial vehicle MOT's were introduced in 1962).
The first MOT in Sefton was performed by Chapel Garage on a
blue 1930's Morris Minor, owned by Ida Lythgoe, who's husband
(Ken) decided casually to take the car for it's first check.
Upon arrival at Chapel Garage it was clear he was first to embark
on these 'new' checks. As the Crosby Herald was positioned next
to the garage back then, Kenneth decided to mark the moment
by inviting the paper to note the occasion with an article on
the first MOT test in Sefton. The photograph on the right shows
Ida and Ken driving the car with a smile, presumably as it had
just passed its first test.
Further to this story, Chapel Garage continues to perform MOT's
to Ken's son's and grandchildren regularly.
