Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Johnston Carmichael LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next twelve months. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The company has continued to strengthen its relationships with its key partner, Vauxhall, as well as expand its collaboration with KGM and is delighted to secure the MG franchise for 2025.”
- “The Directors are confident that 2025 will deliver performance in line with budget, with trading figures in the first half of the year ahead of expectations. The second half of 2025, however, is expected to be more challenging as the cost-of-living increase reduces customer demand and places further pressure on margins.”
- “The value of year end vehicle stock is £4,981,669 (2023 - £5,118,086).”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
