Seems the law has caught up with Motorhub Keighley
Discussion
I know they've got a reputation and come up on here often, I've just seen they're in the news -

Nothing we didn't know before - they will carry on! They have amazing stock of modern classics that always crop up when I'm browsing.
I don't know who in their right mind would buy a supercar from a dealer that operates out of a multi-storey car park and has a massive range of stock which also includes £500 wrecks!

Being discussed here too, but PH have removed the thread. I suspect they'll do the same to this one too as Motorhub are an advertiser here.

I had a strange encounter with them ages and ages ago. They brought in loads of grey imports and had some very nice cars, I had enquired about a Legnum VR24 in purple a really nice spec fresh import. Anyway I phoned and got all details and said I'd like to travel up from Portsmouth to test drive it to which the salesman said oh you can't test drive it before buying it. I said are you serious to which he replied yes, needless to say I didn't go ahead.
I heard through various forums that they were well dodgy so I guess I was lucky, sounds like they haven't changed.

Many years ago before 200sx's were the drifters car of choice, my friend wanted to join me in ownership of one and had earmarked an imported Silvia at KTC, now known as Motorhub.
We got a lift up there and had a look round the Silvia which could only be described as ropey at best, he was desperate to spend his money though and after looking around the rest of their stock he settled on an MR2 turbo. We started it up, had a quick look round it, i noted the PowerFC. Defi gauges and some other expensive tuning items and suggested that its probably had a fair bit of money spent on it.
It was up for £5k, I said lets take it out for a test drive....my mate disappears into the office and then 10 mins later comes out and says that hes bought it!
So in we hop, ready for the 120 mile drive back home, massive turbo whistling behind my head, I thought i might as well go through all the paperwork now my mate has purchased it. Turns out it was a fully forged, GT35r equipped beast, running a safe 380bhp.
It actually ended up being a really good car and was a lot of fun driving up to Perth to pick up one of my RX7's.
Luck more than judgement in this case

Isn't it the rumour that Motorhub is a money laundering front? Those £500 wrecks "sell" for £15,000, etc. etc.
Police don't care to dig a little deeper?
My guess is the £50,000 fine is peanuts compared to what's flowing through that business legally and illegally.
If the Police did any kind of digging in that whole area, Keighley, Dewsbury and Bradford would become ghost towns overnight. There must be a reason they are never investigated...Police don't care to dig a little deeper?
