Late 90s/Early 00s Bauer Millet Dealer Ad from Manchester UK - Nostalgic Memories

Just came across a late 90s/early 00s dealer advertisement from Bauer Millet, a GM/Harley Davidson dealer based in Manchester, UK. It’s pretty nostalgic! What caught my attention was seeing the GMT800 offered in right-hand drive (RHD). I didn’t even know they made those back then. Does anyone else remember this place or have similar memories?

This is the first I’ve heard/seen of the GMT800 being offered in RHD. Bauer Millet was a GM/Harley Davidson dealer in Manchester England.

Yeah, I remember Bauer Millet! They used to have some really unique stuff. I think they were one of the only places where you could get American cars like the Corvette and Camaro in RHD. It was wild to see those on UK roads.

Absolutely! That’s why I was surprised to see the GMT800 in RHD. I knew they did Corvettes, but pickups too? That’s a whole different level.

Totally! I think they even brought in some Cadillacs at one point. Honestly, they were like the go-to place for anything American. I miss those days.

@Linden
It’s crazy to think how niche they were. I remember walking past the showroom as a kid, and it felt like a little slice of the US right there in Manchester. Those were the days!

Exactly! And they always had that massive Harley-Davidson sign out front. It was hard to miss!

@Linden
I completely forgot about the Harley connection. They really did have everything. Makes me wish I could go back and see it all again.

I think Bauer Millet even did conversions themselves sometimes. It wasn’t just importing; they’d actually modify the cars for RHD.

@Ren
That makes sense. It would explain how they got cars like the GMT800 in RHD. Must have been quite the process.

Bauer Millet was one of those iconic places that really stood out. I believe they closed down a few years back. Such a loss for car enthusiasts here.

I heard about that, yeah. Sad to see places like that disappear. They were a big part of the car scene in the UK.

@Tallis
I used to stop by there just to check out what they had on display. Even if you weren’t buying, it was cool to see American cars you’d only see in movies.
