Evans Halshaw is opening a new MG car dealership in Banbury 1 October. Evans Halshaw MG Banbury will be the second franchise within the business.
The new MG site will operate as a Cyberster retailer – MGs new EV sports car – comprising a Cyberster lounge.
The leadership team and all Evans Halshaw associates are being retained and trained in full MG product range.
The site will also maintain its Citroen authorised repair centre status for Citroen cars and commercial vehicles.
Existing Sales and Motability customers will be offered the opportunity to stay with Citroen and will be directed to continue their sales journey at Evans Halshaw Citroen in Bedford.
Adam Fletcher, group vice president for Evans Halshaw said: “This is an exciting time to open a new MG site. As the second franchise to open under Lithia UK, MG Banbury will continue to offer support to customers wishing to stay with Citroen or provide the transition to MG for their next new vehicle.”
Ian Faulkner, head of business for MG Banbury said: “We are delighted to welcome a new location to MG within the Evans Halshaw roster. They are a great automotive brand to work with and myself and the team can’t wait to welcome them to the site.”
The new MG car dealership will replace the existing Citroen Banbury store.
