Lambo Sets Up Shop In Sevenoaks

The bull rages into Kent, with sixth UK dealer launch

---

Recession, what recession? Lamborghini has added a sixth dealership to its UK network, with the opening of a new outlet in Sevenoaks, Kent.

Part of Jardine Motors, which also operates Lamborghini Reading, the Kent location provides full sales and aftersales facilities, as well as retailing the brand's Collezione Automobili Lamborghini merchandise range. (Er, Mmmm...! Ed.)

The UK network is now comprised of six dealers in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Reading and Kent.

You should be able to see examples of the latest Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder and Murciélago LP 670 SuperVeloce at the new dealership, as UK deliveries of both commenced earlier this year.

You might even get an occasional glimpse of a Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni, named after its infamous (their description, not ours) test driver who played a key role in the development of rear-wheel drive cars in the past.

Oddly Lamborghini has only just announced it. Perhaps not enough people have been Christmas shopping for merchandise...

Actually, they're part of the Jardine group arent they? In which case they'd happily px almost any car.

live five minutes away going to be taking a trip up there

wasn't it previously a bentley garage but sold a wide range of exotic cars?

Thank you for the comments and thought it would be good to clear up this announcement as there seems to be a some mixed messages!
We have been a Lamborghini dealer for a short period where we have sold a number of cars, however it is only very recently that we have completed the changes to the showroom to accomodate the Lamborghini brand to reflect the worldwide corporate identity as well as importantly have factory trained staff in place both in sales and aftersales to deliver a strong experience.
Therefore it was decided to not "shout too much" until this was in place.
If anyone is in the area and wants to call in we would be delighted to show you around the cars we have on display and introduce you to the team.

Recession busting my ass, it's half of the Bentley garage...
Needed to sell two marques to do enough trade methinks.

We look forward to the grand opening.

Nice to have a dealer more local, and not the other side of London. Reckon I'll still be taking my car back to the factory for servicing though.

Oh it wasnt one car, i wanted them all! Just went in with a mate so he could have a butchers at the new E Class Coupe. Wanted to hate it, but its a pritty car for a squared off big barge type thing. So one of them, there was an SLK there that I thought was worth my interest. It just went downhill from there. Shame I aint got 100K to drop on motors at the moment.
