Motorworld, the £23m turnover West Midland used car supermarket chain, run by Kultar Dale, has been placed in administrative receivership.

The company traded from sites at Dudley and Wolverhampton and had plans to expand across the north and east Midlands. Receivers Kroll Buchler Phillips said Motorworld's two trading sites were leasehold but freeholds might be available as part of the sale. The company also has a bodyshop and aftersales facility.
