A second official Lamborghini dealership has been opened in Stockport, Cheshire, at the cost of £700,000.

Owned and operated by HR Owen, Lamborghini Manchester will complement the original UK facility, Lamborghini London, established by the dealer group when it acquired the assets of Lamborghini GB from AFN in July 2000.

Lamborghini Manchester is based in Town Hall Square, Stockport and includes a seven-car showroom and service workshop. Lamborghini Manchester will sell new and pre-owned cars.

To date, around 70 Lamborghini Murciélago and 100 Gallardo units have been delivered by Lamborghini London.

“Lamborghini Manchester will allow us to deliver both increased numbers of cars, as well as service, while the relatively low volumes produced by Lamborghini continue to assure the marque's exclusivity,” says Dominic Lancaster, general manager of both businesses.

The UK accounts for around 10% of the total world-wide market for Lamborghini and, along with Japan, is the third largest behind the USA and Germany.
