A north-east of England franchised dealer has taken the opportunity to turn one sale into three.

Sherwoods Vauxhall in Stockton has successfully sold vehicles to three generations of the same family on the same day.

While daughter Rebecca Gohr was collecting her first car, a Vauxhall Astra, her grandmother Joyce decided to buy an Astra Sporthatch and her mother Bobbie became tempted by a bargain offer on a Corsa.

Sherwoods managing director Alasdair MacConachie said: “It’s great that we were able to help the Gohr family find their perfect cars.

“It is very unusual for three generations to buy a car each on the same day but there are some great offers to be had at the moment and I’m sure that they will all have many miles of happy motoring.”
