Good old Arnie Clark had showrooms in the city for Jaguar and Daimler at some point in the 60s.
ISN t tell if Arnie why has not a single prestigious franchise namely BMW, Audi, Merc, Jaguar, Lexus etc everywhere - not that I know of anyway, I know they have the prestige and performance dealers Used cars dotted around, but a friend in the motor trade says that makes the prestige won t touch with a bargepole AC.

Arnie had a BMW franchise he took over Harry Fairbains on Giffnock in 06 Audi's and Mercs I think he made it through some of its other branches new and second hand, I have many a 3 the last year the runout E39 BMW model series 5 of its 08 branches, its been a great car for me.
The group Arnold Clark to support Harry Fairbairn - Scottish leader BMW and MINI dealer group Two dealers record also open the ultimate BMW Aftersales facility in Giffnock and Machargs - the largest auto show in Europe - on Glasgow Clydeside.
In September last year, they also have a Mercedes deductible, they resumed John R Weir and now run 5 Merc garages, even if I think they still retain the name of JR Weir or at least be simply called Mercedes Benz Perth, for example.
Just like how BMW branches are called Harry Fairbairn said that probably because the prestige of companies do not want the bad rep AC associated with them, although the story we said when I worked for was that Arnie they could not change the name Fairbairns AC because part of the deal to buy the company was an agreement he has named Harry Fairbairns until his widow died too.
I do not know why it took them so long to acquire premium brands and name them with aliases AC, along with Skoda, most dealers cottoned to Octavias taxi success and got a Skoda deductible ago 13 years old when he took over 3 years since.

I worked as a mechanic for kitten Cars for almost four years in the late 1970s At that time, he was the true father and son business Old Pop's father, had made his money as an illegal bookmaker and probably a usurer in Gorbals, before and during the war Gerry made a package that man of the right hand of John Bloom in the Rolls Razor scam washing machine.
They were a pair of naughty rascals But more like Arthur Daley all true scoundrels going about Glasgow at the time the younger brother, Vincent had a good seam is bypassing all branches of major national car rental companies such as Avis Hertz and bunging, handsomely, managers so that when it was time for them to renew their fleets, kitten cars got the first offer cars, mostly Cortinas, Marinas and Avengers would turn the Pop trailerload remained in wee home in front of the garage, but Gerry was a great place on the road called Braidholm house where he had the bodybuilder in his Jings reasons, you d never with her today All cars were whipped up workshop body for a quick correction mileage then brought down the avenue kitten and put on rent for the next two years quat re months before their first MOT, they were put in the showroom and sold with a guarantee anyone three months and woe to him who returned complaining that their car failed its MOT ing had, if they hadn t paid for additional security.
The first day I was there, old Pop asked me to check a Fiat 127 for an MOT Make sure the lights and the horn still work while I sweep the dust on the floor to cover your basement Sorry, Pop, I don t you get I said well, rotten with rust chassis so you fill it with a cataloy and cover it with putty and throw a little dust above and MOT ll guy not notice, Christ, I thought you were a mechanic I packed my tools and was just the humphing back to my car when Gerry comes running after me what s happening, is something wrong when I told him he had not been on, he said, with sincerity vendor, we are not supposed to do the last mechanic always, he was pretty good at it the last guy had been with them for about seven, but he refused to have anything to do with these mu ltiples OHC engines, so there was never Hillman Imp instead But when their Ford OHC unit that was, things were too technical for him and we went to take the pub singing full time, I heard that he was as good at singing as it was mechanicking So what we will do with Gerry asked How about welding, few hours max that will correctly patched and have a true WORD I said, but could do a job like that, it will not need to go to a real garage.
Honestly, they didn t have a clue about the technical side of the car so I welded the thing and that was the end of shady WORDs I was there Apart from a strange old pop tried to slip in front of me, I usually find when I took a car ride for myself MOT, the guy's like you're slipping, old Pop tried again with us yesterday.
And some of you will remember the miracles in a box you could get motor factors You know, things you poured into the engine that heals worn large ends, piston slap removed, restored the cuts and put the return oil pressure They were absolutely convinced that this stuff worked it never sure When I finally demonstrated that it was a better long-term idea to fix the damn thing rather than fall with the client, they were surprised Gerry finally confessed to me that the only reason they had a workshop was to make it look like they knew what they were doing would a shop remembers it was actually just in front of the showroom that you went down the ramp.
But Pop has always been a player, he always tried on a client returned once complain that the escort he bought for a few weeks seemed to be less than one side than the other, it is a helical spring before broken, but he didn t know I told Pop I needed, but he told me to let the guy would set the bodybuilder was a mystery to me how he would do it there, they had no tools to talk about what Pop did was to take a spare part of a later escort with 13inch wheels and replace the wheel from 12 inches in front of the other escort, making it look as if it were the level sitting, I found out months later when the customer returned the car to its Dinger.
Aye, rogues, but not by any means the worst Some large garages were just cascades within days should have then locked.
