Bentley Manchester's New Home

In late January 2008, 25 Bentleys, collectively worth over £3 million, formed a procession from Bentley Manchester’s former showroom in Stretford to a new purpose-built facility in Knutsford. The convoy of iconic vehicles, including the Bentley Continental Flying Spur and the latest model, the Bentley Continental GT Speed, turned many heads as they travelled along the M60 and M56 towards Knutsford.

Bentley Manchester has invested a massive sum in the move which makes the dealership one of the most technologically advanced in the country. Boasting an impressive contemporary glass and chrome façade, the new 25,758 sq ft building, located on Mobberley Road, encompasses a state of the art service area and showroom for the luxury British automotive marque. Commenting on the move, Managing Director Jon Crossley, said: “Our new flagship showroom offers the ultimate in choice and service for Bentley customers. It marks the start of a new chapter for Bentley Manchester, as we continue to go from strength to strength, supplying Bentley’s whole range of respected high performance cars to customers across Cheshire, Manchester, Merseyside and North Wales. The impressive convoy of Bentleys was a sight to behold and ensured our move from the old address to the new was carried out in true Bentley style.”

The new dealership is easily accessible from all areas of the North West and is located on the main road linking Knutsford to Wilmslow via Mobberley, close to the M6 motorway. The increased space available allows for 10 new cars to be displayed alongside an extensive range of pre-owned prestige Bentleys and other luxury marques on the forecourt. The showroom is equipped with an industry leading computerised commissioning system that displays the extensive range of Bentley interiors and accessories available. Customers can accurately visualise their new model at point of sale, making the new showroom an ideal introduction to the Bentley ownership experience.
