Maserati already has a powerful presence in the UK. But on the line with their global expansion programs they appointed Benfield, the North East’s largest Motor Group, to operate its first official solus Maserati dealership in the UK.

The UK’s first solus Maserati dealership will be operated from Benfield’s existing premises on Warwick street, Newcastle and will open from the 10th July 2012. The dealership will be the sole distributor of this iconic brand in the area, which returns to the north-east of England following a lengthy absence. The Warwick Street showroom has the capacity to display all three elements of the Maserati vehicle range: GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Quattroporte.

Pre-owned Masers is another field the Benfield showroom will be active in.This expansion will also help when Maserati unveils its two or three new models they have in the pipelines.
