Gloucester-based Clearwater Cars has joined the MG network as the brand targets record growth in 2017.

Clearwater Cars will be able to offer a far larger volume of new and used cars to local customers and further extend the MG Motor UK’s dealer network in the South West of England with its new franchise on Bristol Road, Gloucester.

Clearwater Cars’ director, Peter Stojanov, said: “MG offers fun and stylish cars that are excellent value for money.

“We see a clear demand for products like the MG3 and MG GS in the Gloucestershire region and, with the latest MG model, the MG XS, about to launch – now seemed like the perfect time to join the MG network.

"It is an exciting time for the MG brand, and we’re looking forward to being a part of it.”

MG Motor UK’s head of sales and marketing Matthew Cheyne said: “The team behind Clearwater Cars has such a brilliant reputation; we have no doubt that they will be an excellent addition to the network.

“The growth of the business is a testament to Ivan and his family’s desire to succeed and their commitment to outstanding customer service.

“We are proud to have them as part of the rapidly expanding MG dealer network.”
