International Motors acquires Mitsubishi UK aftersales franchise operation

International Motors has completed the acquisition of the Mitsubishi Motors in the UK aftersales franchise operation from the Japanese brand’s long-term importer The Colt Car Company.

The business, part of Subaru UK and Isuzu UK importer the IM Group, will operate the business under a new I.M. MAPS (UK) Ltd subsidiary but will continue to trade under the Mitsubishi Motors in the UK banner.

The purchase - the result of talks announced back in May - will take place on October 1 and the Mitsubishi Motors in the UK aftersales business will operate independently within IM Group from its current base in Cirencester.
