Following the acquisition of Silver Street Automotive's Audi, Volkswagen and Skoda businesses, Marshall Motor Group is expanding its programme with Manheim.

The auction group’s Bristol centre will receive up to 50 cars per week from Silver Street, with sales taking place every Monday.

Chris Sheppard, group commercial director at Marshall Motor Group, commented: "We are delighted with the service we have received from Manheim since we launched our auction programme last year.

“We have been able to create a loyal following at Manheim Colchester and Mansfield, so have no doubt that Bristol will provide the same quality and service offering to Marshall and the buying community in the South West.”

Brett Henderson, auction centre manager at Manheim Bristol, added: "The Marshall Motor Group and Silver Street Automotive brands are well-respected in the South West and we expect to see a strong mix of buyers attending the sales online and in-person.”
