I know he hadn't been well and his son Stephen was doing other things for a while, so perhaps that's what's swayed the sale. Bodsys Brake Bible

+1 particularly service staff. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Until last October all my Land Rover Discovery's were serviced there and all but one purchased from them, sad to see the business sold.
In 19 years I have never had a problem with any of the service staff, they were all friendly and helpful. The dealer I bought my last LR from retired a year after I bought it and since then all the sales staff have changed - and some of them only seem to last 3 months.
I hoped that they might keep the name, as Gordon Lamb's good name was why Vertu Motors plc bought them (according to an article I read), apparently they also own Bristol Street Motors.
If I decided to purchase another LR, I would have gone back to Gordon Lamb, not sure about Vertu or BSM depending on which name they decide to use. 1996 Discovery 1 300TDI ES Biarritz Blue, sold
1999 Discovery 2 TD5 ES Rioja Red, sold
2002 Discovery 2 TD5 ES Buckingham Blue, sold
2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Adriatic Blue, sold
2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Zambezi Silver, sold
2011 Discovery 4 SDV6 HSE Nara Bronze, sold
2016 Volvo XC60 D5 AWD Lux Nav Twilight Bronze, sold
2020 Range Rover Evoque P250 First Edition, Nolita grey, sold
2023 Range Rover Evoque P300e Autobiography, Carpathian grey

I bought swmbo an approved used FL1 from Gordon Lamb in 2010 via the net but it turned out to be a lemon
I expected a problem resolving based on my experience of other LR dealers but it was collected from Yorkshire and refund given without any fuss
From that experience they seemed to be one of the good ones Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

That's where I got my D4 from, travelled from the Wirral for it. TBH I was pretty impressed with the staff and experience pre and post-sale. Couldn't comment on servicing though.
The free 'Gordon the Lamb' teddy I got is still the dog's most loved toy and has survived dozens of machine washes  D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

Got two of them in a wardrobe, the first one (from 1999) is about 4 times the size of the ones they gave out after 2000 though! Last LR I bought from them they gave me a golf umbrella. 1996 Discovery 1 300TDI ES Biarritz Blue, sold

I bought multiple cars from them and had all my LRs serviced there for last 10 years. Hope the new owners seek to look after the longstanding customers, I know first thing I'd be doing is looking at service and sales history to identify the people I need to introduce the new company too and look after! MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten
MY12 HSE - Gone
MY16 HSE Luxury - Sold
MY20 D5 HSE - Sold

Looks like the new owner is Farnells as they have just tried to sell me a D4 and sent me a link to a car that is for sale in Leeds
Salesmans response was as we are now part of a large group I can source cars from our group stock
Hope this helps
Regards
Shaun

Bought my present D3 from them, but only used the service facilities once for warranty work, I didn't like the female(bitch) rockweiller behind the service counter. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
