Default Triangle

Just drove past Triangle Subaru in Chesterfield and all the cars have gone from the compound and all from inside the showroom too
But Montys Sheffield are still going they sent me a winter check up reminder the other day
So anyone know the story with Triangle anyway???
Is it just down sizing?

Not sure mate but I had my MOT reminder the other day from them and it said they were taking on an additional franchise - KIA motors. Just pulled this from their website:

"Despite the troubled economic times Triangle of Chesterfield is pleased to report a substantial expansion of the business.

With effect from January 1st 2009 Triangle will become the main Kia dealer for the Chesterfield area."

Maybe they're expanding or relocating?

Wow, I didn't know that. Lucas at Mansfield has gone into administration so perhaps this was inevitable?

Triangle is definitely no longer a subaru dealer - Kia only. Nearest dealer to me I think will be Beechdale at Derby.

Europa is a used car dealer based on the old GT Cars site at the bottom of Granville Rd. When Bentleys gave up their franchise years ago, this was the site that they moved to and when they failed Europa took it over. I havent dealt with them personally, but Id have been using Montys of Triangle by choice.
