Arnold Clark Toyota re branded and now MG wonder if that means all the pensioners in the Briggs will now change to MGs? :-)

You do wonder what drives manufacturer/importer to remove virtually all the franchises bar one from a dealer group and award them to a competing dealer group? Why leave one garage still with franchise?

I get the feeling that it was more that AC walked away from Toyota (& that it may not be the only franchise that they might do that with). Possibly they couldn't come to mutually agreeable terms on site investment/margins etc.
From what I understand Ayr remains Toyota only for the handover of new Toyotas that were ordered via AC before the franchise shifted. Once they have all been delivered it too will no longer be Toyota.

Yes could be the case No new Toyota deals available on web site

Hmm Its all about controlling the deals from start to finish.

Strange when you read article that apart from on here I have seen nothing about central car auctions being AC now

Yes have been in there and saw that, usually not slow in publising acquisitions
