New and used car dealer Lookers announced that it has bought Scottish based Lomond Motors for £15m.
"The acquisition strengthens the group's presence in Scotland, where it operates as Taggarts Motor Group in Glasgow and Motherwell and represents the Land Rover," Lookers said in a company statement.
Lookers bought the entire issued share capital of Lomond using the group's existing bank facilities.
The statutory accounts of Lomond for the year ending 31 December 2011 reported a pre-tax profit of £0.7m, with gross assets of £36.8m and net assets of £5.3m.
Lookers Chief Executive, Peter Jones, said: "The acquisition is an important development in the group's representation of the Audi brand and our relationship with the VW Group and we are very pleased to be representing the brands in such key locations."
