Martyn and Paul Carnell have returned to the motor industry after a three-year hiatus by launching a used car superstore venture in West Yorkshire.

The Car People is currently trading from a temporary site in Leeds but will move to a 1,000-car supermarket on a retail park in nearby Wakefield in October.

The brothers, who sold their 14-outlet car and motorcycle dealer group to Yorkshire rival Dixon Motors in 1997, plan to sell “ a good range” of nearly-new to five-year-old cars on a fixed-price, no-haggle basis.

Further outlets are planned, which will be located in major UK cities and highly populated conurbations.
