McLaren Automotive, the world’s newest sports car company, today announces that Jardine Motors Group will represent the brand as McLaren London focusing on the South and South East regions of England.

Jardine Motors Group will open exclusive new premises in central London to cater for the all-new McLaren MP4-12C and future McLaren models. The location and further details will be announced shortly.

Simon Everett, Group Operations Director at the Jardine Motors Group, said: “Jardine Motors Group is ideally placed to support McLaren’s new sports car company. We are one of the UK’s leading motor groups and operating predominantly in the premium and high luxury sector – a natural champion of McLaren’s passion, skill, and experience.

The UK, along with the USA, will be McLaren’s biggest market, and initial interest in the UK for the 12C already exceeds the first year’s allocation.

Jardine Motors Group will join a global network of 35 partners in 2011 who will be responsible for selling a planned production volume of 1,000 12Cs in the first year. Volumes across the model range will reach around 4,000 by the middle of the decade, built in an all-new manufacturing facility at McLaren’s Woking home.

A full model range of high-performance, two-seat, mid-engine McLaren sports cars will be completed by the middle of the decade.

Antony Sheriff, McLaren Automotive’s Managing Director, said: “I am thrilled to announce the relationship between McLaren Automotive and its UK representatives - three of the best car retail businesses in the world.

The UK is our home, and the strong demand for the 12C from potential retailers and prospects is evidence of the strength of the McLaren brand in the UK.

We now have the ideal partners in the UK who have enormous experience in delivering extraordinary customer service to help us deliver on those expectations.”
