MOTORAUCTIONS, Leeds, has expanded the number of dealership groups which have contracted it to handle the re-sale of traded-in vehicles following Wednesday's registration change to V plates.

Contract wins for the independent house include dealer groups Benfield, Sunwin, Polar, Harrats, Reg Vardy, Tates and Renault UK. Operations director Mike Partridge said: 'Clients are anticipating a good September sales period, and that in turn will translate into good trading for us. Leading retail groups are turning to us a serious retail partner and we are exceeding their expectations.'
