As stated goodbye to the folks at Lancaster Pangbourne.

I have purchased 3 new cars in total from these people, and have to say that apart from a couple of minor hick-ups (remember the front tyres Mike), I have always found them professional and polite.

A big thanks to Mike, Conrad & Bobby. Without these guys, owning a Scooby would not have been so enjoyable.

It is truly a sorry state of affairs when corporate policy means decent people loose their jobs.

Good luck for the future.
Darren

Unhappy

Ditto...

I've only bought the 1 Scooby from them... but I can happily say the sales team (Mike, Vaughan, Bobby and the rest) along with the peeps in servicing (Conrad, Diane) have always been courteous, helpful and polite.

You will be missed.

I got a letter from Lancaster Sevenoaks as they are going too - someone else appears to be taking over the Subaru franchise on the same site though...

Dave R - any leftover old stock is being sold onto the trade. I'd spoken to Mike a few days back.

For what it's worth I reckon anything they did had left would probably get picked up by Bulldog Twyford...

That's just my 2p's worth.

I have similar thoughts.

Goodbye to Lancaster's. Thanks for the work and support you gave me with my P1. It's doubly gutting to hear that the garage is closing completely and the staff are looking for jobs.

Vindaloo.
