Arnold Clark will be closing one of its Glasgow showrooms from March 15 after it was bought by developers.
The dealership on Glasgow Road in Rutherglen is home to Ford, Fiat and Abarth in the city.
It has now been bought by developers as part of ongoing regeneration in the area and the dealership is only part of the wider redevelopment plan.
Although the showroom will be closing, Arnold Clark has said there won’t be any jobs lost from the business and customers have already been informed.
