Inchcape has continued its plan to move away from car retail with the £70 million sale of its Toyota and Audi dealerships in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Now the group has revealed plans to further the strategy in its overseas markets with the disposal of its St. Petersburg Toyota and Audi franchised operations to “local market operator” KlyuchAvto.
In a statement issued today, the PLC said: “The transaction is conditional upon final OEM partner and regulatory approvals and is expected to complete in the second-quarter.
“In 2020, the disposed operations generated revenue of c£200m and profit before tax (pre-exceptionals) of £12m. Gross assets at the end of 2020 were £77m.
