Dealer group Bristol Street Motors has opened a state-of-the-art new MG showroom, following an investment of over £1m.

The site, in Chesterfield, becomes the group’s third MG showroom, joining existing dealerships in Carlisle and Beaconsfield.

Bosses have described the project as a ‘game changer’ and have hailed MG’s ‘remarkable success over the last few years’.


Prior to extensive refurbishment work, the dealership was home to a Vauxhall franchise from 2007.

As part of the transformation, the site’s aftersales facilities have been repositioned to a separate area on the premises, which has enabled the service bays to be repurposed into a spacious seven-car showroom.

The investment has also provided a shot in the arm for the local economy with the dealership currently recruiting for three newly-created roles.


Robert Forrester, chief executive of Bristol Street Motors, said the investment showed Bristol Street Motors’ committment to the Chesterfield area.

He said: ‘We have witnessed MG’s remarkable success over the last few years, and we are excited to bring this brand’s excellence to Chesterfield.

‘Our decision to invest in this new dealership underscores our confidence in both the MG brand and the vibrant economy of Chesterfield.

‘As MG garners awards and recognition, we are proud to be part of its journey.’
