Hartwells near Oxford sold out to Ridgeway, this branch will be closing soon with a new purpose built showroom being built at Newbury.
Lookers bought Chippefield LR near Hemel Hempstead, word is they are looking for new premises which will have to incorporate Jaguar, the Jaguar dealership, Merritts at Amersham was bought by Lookers a while ago, so the two will amalgamate I expect. Sadly, no not really, Pratstones near me are rumoured to be going Twisted Evil Twisted Evil p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

We saw a drive-through service bay in the US. You present your car at one end and it goes through on a sort of production line and comes out the other end an hour later. Downside was the "trained" staff were completely unable to deal with anything non-standard. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease

I bet the lads at Landranger services in Atherton are quaking in their boots Laughing
If you want a brew you make it yourself, and while your at the kettle you might as well make one for everyone else.
I nipped in just before Christmas, it was cold inside and out, and the cleaner had definitely had the day off, but the lads were helpful, and the customers were hanging around taking the Censored out of all and sundry, a damn good atmosphere.

Oh and the window regulator was half the dealer price. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

I believe that Lancaster LR dealership in Welwyn Garden City have been taken over by Grange (Cambria Automobiles plc) who already have a Jaguar / Aston Martin dealership on the edge of the town. Whether either premises would be large enough for a JLR combined dealership, I don't know.

Gordon Lamb Chesterfield has been swallowed up by Vertu Motors plc - Bristol Street Motors, Farnells et al. That is a multi franchise site so who knows there?
