Several car lots featured throughout the series and this location changes several times.
Series 1-6
This is the famous car lot that featured in the opening title sequence of each episode. This location is on the junction of Augustine Road and Dewhurst Road W14, in Hammersmith. As you can see in the last photo, the place where Terry & Arthur shake hands now has two houses built on it. However, the pointed roof of the Addison Boys Club can be clearly seen in both the opening sequence and the photos taken today.

The first two
pictures in both sequences show as near as possible the same locations. Notice
the tree behind Arthur. The exact position where Arthur would be standing today
is where the house wall is situated.
