It has taken three years of meticulous planning, seven months of skilled design and development and an investment of over £1 million. Now Bentley Kent’s brand new showroom in London Road, Sevenoaks, is complete and open for business.
Construction started last July and the striking glass and aluminium-clad building was officially opened at a celebration party this week, attended by over 200 customers and guests.
Likely to become something of a landmark on London Road, Bentley Kent reflects the quality, craftsmanship and excitement of the Bentley range, with marble flooring, soft leather furnishings and a state-of-the-art commissioning area where customers can specify their dream Bentley.
The opening of the new showroom comes just a few months after a £200,000 refurbishment of Bentley Kent’s new service facility in nearby Dunton Green, taking the total investment to some £1.4 million. Customers’ cars are collected and transported (not driven) to Dunton Green, where state-of-the-art equipment and factory-trained technicians ensure that all Bentley cars are maintained to the highest standards.
“We are absolutely delighted with our new Bentley Kent facilities and look forward to welcoming all our existing and new customers,” said general manager, Ian Barrow. “This represents a huge investment by our parent company Jardine Motor Group, and it is very much in keeping with the advanced engineering and craftsmanship that have always been the hallmarks of the Bentley range.”
On show at Bentley Kent is the flagship Arnage and highly acclaimed Continental GT coupe as well as the Continental Flying Spur, the fastest production four door car in the world. Up to 20 pre-owned Bentley Approved cars are available to be previewed at the showroom.

Euro Car Parts has acquired Pinco 1555 Ltd, including all 53 of LSUK's 53 branches, together with subsidiaries M I Diesel Products, Protech Automotive (UK) and Yeovil Rewind.

Fuel protests similar to those that brought the UK to a halt in 2000 are being planned by a breakaway group of disaffected hauliers, according to press reports.

Euro Car Parts has put out a statement on the closure of LSUK, stating that a closure of the business was unavoidable due to a 'lack of support'.

LSUK, thought to have been rescused by Euro Car Parts, has been unexpectedly closed by the new owners with the loss of over 600 jobs.
