The site will be rebranded as Lancaster Land Rover.

Alun Jones, chief executive of Jardine Motors Group, said: “We are delighted to be growing our relationship with Land Rover in a key territory with significant opportunities for growth.

"This acquisition is also firmly in line with our strategy of growing our business during 2010 both through organic growth and further acquisitions."
