[smicker] 07/5/2013 17:03

Great figures today. Nice to see we have a large shareholder accumulating also.

[mortimer7] 18/4/2013 17:30

Apparently no news.
The share price has drifted down from 42p on 5th April to 39p at todays close.
Come on management team how was your Q1 performance???

SMMT New Car Sales figures out on 5th April showed year on year increase for the
UK in March. Assume VTU will be positive also particularly as they are a big Vauxhall player & Vauxhall increased their market share nationally.
I wonder if VTU will release a news update before their results in Mid may.

Absolutely cracking pre-close trading statement:

Looking confidently forward to a sharp move up this morning.

[18bt] 01/3/2013 07:17

Nice trading update this morning. Looking undervalued IMHO

read across from PDG anyone.

Two large shareholders ( i think ) reducing their stake. Very unfortunate that this has been happening as other small caps fly but still great progress from 27p to 40p while this selling has been going on. Question is, are they intending to sell out or just letting go of a few. Given the underlying performance seems on track i dont think its worth trying to time this.

The rise in UK demand was released over a week ago and was in the news at that time so i'm not sure thats it. Having said that, it seems to be the only obvious reason.

[zoolook] 17/1/2013 18:42

Positive car sales data maybe

[smicker] 17/1/2013 16:49

Anyone any idea why we had such high volume today?

[drewz] 14/1/2013 14:34

Another cracking buy today, of my favourite car dealership in Crosshills.

Just need the price to cool down a bit; am looking to buy somewhere between 38p - 40p.

[welsheagle] 12/1/2013 20:06

Car sales generally reported to be up in the news.

[kayha2] 09/1/2013 09:32

Good interview with Robert here:

Addresses the acquisitions nicely.

[smicker] 07/1/2013 09:27

[olison] 21/12/2012 11:36

Car mkt bullish, company fundamentals good, cash for acquisitions.

from today's Guardian

New car sales in the UK rose by 11% in the 12 months to November, compared with a 10% slump in European sales.

Robert Forrester, chief executive of Virtu (sic) Motors, which has 90 dealerships across the UK, said European manufacturers were sending more cars to the UK, as consumers on the continent cut back on big purchases. "The European car market is clearly in severe distress with most European countries seeing significant falls in consumer demand."

He said manufacturers producing too many cars to meet demand have looked to the UK to offload them. "One of the few outlets for that capacity is the UK where the consumer is more robust."

While the economy still looks bleak in Britain, he said, UK consumers were feeling better than they were 12 months ago. "It would appear we are getting back to normality," he said.
