An Edinburgh car dealership has won a £385,000 supply deal with one of the city’s largest accident repair companies.

The contract sees Straiton based Nissan dealership, Alex F Noble & Son, provide 45 new Micra cars to Duddingston Coachworks for use as courtesy cars.

Alex F Noble Nissan’s dealer principal David Noble said: “Fleet deals are always important to us, and our relationship with Duddingston Coachworks goes back many years, so we’re very happy to be providing them with these Micras.”

Duddingston Coachworks manager Bill Baxter said: “We used a fleet of older-style Micras previously, and they were excellent.

"We were very happy to return to Nissan because the cars are priced right and are the size and quality that we need and because Micras are low-emission vehicles with zero road tax, they’re even good for the environment”
