Dealer group Peter Vardy has been named as the official vehicle partner for the Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) which gets under way this month.

Celebrities from Hollywood to Holyrood will be transported around the capital in a specially-prepared fleet of Peter Vardy-branded cars.

The partnership puts Peter Vardy in the company of high-profile corporate and funding partners who are supporting the 68th edition of the EIFF which will run at cinemas and venues across Edinburgh from June 18 to 29.

It will be attended by international stars such as Elijah Wood and Don Johnson, and Peter Vardy will provide a selection of vehicles from its brands, including BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover and Vauxhall.

Peter Vardy will also be represented at the red carpet Opening Gala Night, one of the city's most glamorous nights of the year, as well as at the Closing Night Gala and will be featuring its involvement on social media throughout the festival.
