I heard a rumour they had or where in danger or loosing their Ferrari concession ? anyone shed some light ? Mat
Hi, Stratstone will be closing down the Ferrari showroom in the West Midlands in August, the Manchester showroom will remain open! Regards, Phil.
Another Midlands F-Car showroom gone . That is the one in Little Aston right? The one by me in Hagley closed ages ago, its being refurbed into an Aston Martin garage now.
Hi Robert, The Little Aston showroom will also be turned over to Aston Martin after a refurb!! A new Ferrari showroom will be taking over from Stratstone sometime soon? Regards, Phil.
Hi Dale, Yes, I `m fine thank you. Hope you are well? Glad to see you will be back at Hagley soon, I hope all goes well for you, see you soon. Regards, Phil.
Thanks Phil, that's exactly what's happening to the Hagley showroom, they seem to be rebuilding it at the moment, lord knows when it will be open. Not very much has been successful there, so we will have to se. You guys are from around Hagley? I live over in Norton, not too far from Stourbridge golf club! What a small world eh!
Hi Robert, Dale lives over that way, he also worked at the Hagley branch and will be back when it reopens!! I live near to Walsall. Are you going to the FOC Concour on Sunday, its being held at Walton Hall nr Stratford on Avon? Regards, Phil.
Thanks Dale, was interested. It looks like things are coming along nicely now with the rebuilding work - I'll probably pop in and have a look around at some point! Oh right, wow, cool. Is the FOC Concour question targetted at me? I have no idea whether it is there, unfortunatly I don't own a Ferrari (yet ). Can Non-Ferrari owners go or something?
Hi Robert, Yes, the question was for you! Anyone can go as a spectator, there is an entry fee though and I`m not sure what that is this year? If you join the Ferrari Owners Club Prancing Horse register you would get in for nothing!! There should be around 300 + Ferraris there, so plenty for you to see!! Regards, Phil. West Midlands Ferrari Area Organiser.
Ah! Right okay, wow, so I could join the register even though im not an owner? If you have any more information on the meeting then could you Private Message me perhaps? I might well be interested in coming down and seeing the Ferrari's Thanks Phil
Hi all, Latest news is that the Manchester showroom is also now closing down, I have no date as yet when this will take place? Also told that all the staff at Little Aston were given their P45`s last week instead of being kept on and being moved to other dealerships. Regards, Phil.
Guys, I am not sure where this information about Manchester is coming from but I have a really good friend who is pretty high up at the company and they most definitely aren't closing. Little Aston has now closed but Manchester will continue. We should all be really careful about what we say on here as it can damage peoples reputations. I use Manchester and have done for some time. There is a great team of people down there always willing to help, I wouldn't want them to go! Cheers......
As some of you know, im at the University of Manchester and today i ended up walking past the garage. I can confirm it is open and operating, selling Ferrari's and Maserati's. It looked to have quite a high stock level (for Ferrari's and stuff that is) and some recent cars if not brand new ones, a Ferrari F430 Spider with the rear challenge grille out the front. Obviously i dont know the full story, but it is still going
Yeah i think that is best. In a few weeks i'll scout past and take some photos, perhaps head in and see what is going on; doubt they would give a straight answer to a complete random stranger!
