Brandon Car Centre branches out into motorcycle sales including BSA and Benelli, Sinnis and Niu





An established car dealer has taken a new direction by branching out into motorcycles.

Brandon Car Centre now has in stock some 45 motorcycles and scooters at its High Street showroom, alongside its regular range of used cars.

The car centre has made the move after discovering that, from January next year, it will no longer be able to operate as an MG franchise.

Owner Daniel Freeman said: “As MG has grown they have new requirements which means our showroom is no longer large enough.

“Obviously we were disappointed as we have successfully sold new MGs to hundreds of customers since we first became a franchise in 2016.

“But we are still an approved MG centre for services, and warranty work, and can still source new MGs.”

Brandon Car Centre was founded in 2004.

Now employing 10 staff, the mainstay of the business is used car sales, with around 30 in stock, and all makes and models. This will continue alongside servicing and MoTs.

“Used cars are what we are best known for and we have built up an exemplary reputation for sales and service in the area,” said Daniel.

“Our staff are very passionate and knowledgeable about motorbikes, and we saw a gap in the market when the MG franchise ended.

“We now have a broad selection of scooters and motorbikes to suit all two wheel enthusiasts including iconic brands: BSA and Benelli as well as Sinnis and Niu.

“Our workshop will be also fully equipped to facilitate all motorbike MoT and servicing.

“We are now also stocking a range of Oxford clothing, including helmets and accessories.”
