I think they still have the Jaguar garage in 7oaks.

Lost the Subaru franchise though.

I now use Gatwick Subaru who are IMHO much better

I though the 7Oaks dealership was meant to be taken over by another outfit, at least that's what they told me a few days before they were shutting down. Lancasters were expensive but I always seemed to be able to do a deal with them over the servicing costs, shame if they have gone completely.

Hi
Lancasters were to sell on the dealership in 7oakes and the tooling from Pangbourne was to go into a satalite d/s around the same area but it all went wrong.
Lancasters withdrew from I.M as it was only intended as to prop up the Jag side as it was floundering with costs. Unfortunatly for them it took off better than they expected and took over, They kept promising that they would move Subaru D.S to new sites but never did, ending up withdrawing from I.M deal as it didnt fit the company image of Lanc Luxury Cars, (Merc,Jag & Aston etc). Both Sub D/S were making money but they just pulled the plug...

I actually tried with some others to set up another D.Ship but couldnt raise enough funds in time. So I continue with the ever growing Subaru 4 You..

regards

Len
