Chiltern Motors Garage, Buckland Common Situated in Cholesbury Lane HP23 6NQ, this garage was established in 2004 and carries out servicing and repairs on a wide variety of car makes and models. The two disused petrol pumps at the front of the garage each show the same price of 4/11d per quart. They must date back to the post-war era to be selling petrol at that price!
