JLR site opened in capital by car dealer

John Clark, Scotland’s fourth-largest motor dealer with a resilient heartland in the north-east, has opened a £6 million facility in Edinburgh for Jaguar Land Rover, currently Europe’s most successful carmaker.

JLR increased its Europe-wide sales by 39% in January when Mazda slumped by 36%, Renault by 25% and Fiat by 16%. UK car sales were flat, but car manufacturing increased by 16%, helped by the performance of JLR, which has all its plants in the UK.
