Arnold Clark to partner with US sport brand Corvette

Arnold Clark is joining the first dealer groups to partner with Corvette with branches in Glasgow and Altrincham set to sell cars specifically built for the UK market.

The move sees the AM100 dealership group become the exclusive dealer for right-hand drive models as well as heading sales in the north of England.

The news comes after Greenhous Group’s specialist premium and luxury vehicle business Lumen Automotive announced it too is bringing a right-hand drive Chevrolet Corvette to the UK.

Callum Rankin, Arnold Clark brand director said: ‘There is nothing else quite like this in our current lineup. There’s incredible demand for these award-winning cars in the UK and we’re delighted to provide customers with an easy way to purchase and the opportunity to test-drive and see new models up close. We hope this is the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship and we can’t wait to share these incredible models.’

Filippo Caracciolo, Corvette, European distribution manager said: ‘The Corvette represents the pinnacle of American performance and design, blending thrilling power, advanced technology, and a heritage that’s unmatched. We’re thrilled to work with Arnold Clark, known for their automotive expertise and service, to share the unmistakable Corvette experience with UK enthusiasts who appreciate bold, distinctive, and exhilarating driving.’

A new Arnold Clark branch will open in Hillington close to Arnold Clark head office, while an existing Altrincham site will be remodelled to accommodate the brand. 

Models available at launch in January will be C8 Corvette Stingray and the C8 Corvette Z06, with more to follow later in 2025.
