HR Owen will complete development of a new specialist used car business this month.

The group acquired the lease of a showroom at Melton Court, South Kensington in London.

The site is being refurbished to include a Rolls-Royce franchise as well as dedicated space for the prestige used car business.

The announcement follows on from HR Owen’s interim results which showed strong used car volumes and margins which had improved in comparison to first six months of 2008.
