MARBLE ARCH MOTOR TROUSERS

Marble Arch Motor Supplies was a go-to place for all your motoring needs. These beautifully crafted ‘30s leather motor trousers are still as sturdy today as they were back then – plenty of mileage is left in these old legs! Marble Arch Motor Supplies was a trusted brand of the time, not only for motor goods but also for camping and outdoor essentials. 

Its head office was in Camberwell, and the showroom was in Edgware Road. During WW2, Marble Arch Motor Supplies became a depot for ‘T.T.3’, a subsection for the Ministry of Supply, which resuscitated written-off military motor vehicles to bring them back into the war effort  – there are even accounts of the Camberwell office was used as a local shelter during air raids.
