The John Clark Motor Group, the multi-franchise group which operates in Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh, has opened its new £2.2 million flagship BMW dealership which also houses facilities for the recently-announced new Mini.

The 2.3-acre complex on Aberdeen's Wellington Road incorporates the group's BMW car dealership, its new motorcycle sales and service operation, plus showroom, service and parts dept new Mini franchise.

John Clark, chairman and managing director of the John Clark Motor Group, predicts the new site will sell 500 new BMWs and 250 Minis, plus 700 used cars, and is expected to generate a turnover of £28 million in its first full year.

The new Wellington Road complex replaces the existing John Clark BMW dealership in Gray Street, Aberdeen, which is set to become a residential development.
