Ranmore Fine Motor Cars, based in Betchworth, recently opened its refurbished Morgan dealership in North Downs.
The dealer has been known for selling, servicing and restoring classic Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars for over 40 years.
Jonathan Tait, CEO of The Ranmore Group, said: “From the very start, we were impressed by Oltco’s professionalism and attention to detail. Converting an old agricultural building into a showroom fit for Morgan was no small task, and finding the right flooring solution was one of our biggest challenges. Oltco looked after us brilliantly throughout.
“Rob, Warren and the team were outstanding, and their communication meant we were able to keep Morgan fully updated on progress at every stage. The workshop looks extremely smart, and Morgan themselves have been really pleased with the end result.
“It’s a space we’re proud to welcome customers into, whether they’re here for a new Morgan or one of the cherished classics we also keep on site.”
Sustainable resin bound surfacing specialist Oltco, Crawley & Dorking division, completed the flooring.
Oltco installed its Recycle Bound surface throughout the showroom.
The original uneven floor was unsuitable for showcasing cars to customers and = safely manoeuvring high-value vehicles around the showroom.
Rob Wilson, director of Oltco Crawley & Dorking, said: “When Ranmore came to us, the brief was clear: they needed a floor that could turn a very uneven agricultural building into something smart enough for a prestige car showroom, without the cost and disruption of levelling and concreting the whole space.
“Recycle Bound was the perfect fit. It gave them a durable, level and visually striking surface that’s more than capable of supporting high-value vehicles, while also suiting the sustainability expectations of a site within the North Downs National Landscape.
“Warren and the rest of the team did a brilliant job, and it’s great to see the finished showroom looking so smart.”
The 6,500 sq ft building was given a full re-skin using structural insulated panels (SIPs), and made completely watertight.
The site sits within the North Downs National Landscape, making the design, style and sustainability of the conversion a priority throughout.
