A motor group has opened a new Kia showroom at a former Prestige Cars site.

Peter Cooper Motor Group's managing director, Darren Cooper, was joined by Saints football legend James Beattie for the opening of Peter Cooper Kia Hedge End.

The ceremony took place at the former Prestige Cars site, which has now moved to West End Southampton.

The opening event also featured a Donald Trump impersonator, comedian Mike Osman, who entertained over 100 guests with his presidential antics.

Also present was magician Colin Phillips, who is a member of the Magic Circle.

Guests were treated to refreshments from local vineyard Wickham Estate and The Mill at Botley, while exploring the Kia line-up, including electric and hybrid models.

The facility includes a seven-car showroom for new vehicles, space to display 50 approved used cars, and improved service and MOT facilities.

The new showroom is part of Peter Cooper Motor Group's effort to enhance its customer experience and sustainability commitment.

The group's heritage is linked to this site, as Peter Cooper began its journey here more than 40 years ago.

With more than 40 years of experience, Peter Cooper Motor Group has more than 50,000 loyal customers.

Darren Cooper, managing director of the Peter Cooper Motor Group, said: "It’s been a fantastic night. I was delighted to meet and talk to many of our new Kia customers, as well as customers who have been part of the Peter Cooper Motor Group success for over 40 years and remember us from when we first started all those years ago.

"Our new ‘Peter Cooper Kia Hedge End’ showroom represents the group’s continued commitment to delivering exceptional automotive experiences to its customers. Modern, spacious, and featuring state-of-the-art facilities, the showroom has been designed to showcase Kia's cutting-edge vehicles in a welcoming and customer-focused environment."

Meanwhile, Prestige Cars and the All Makes Service Centre are now based on the High Street, West End Southampton.

Prestige Cars offers quality used cars, while the All Makes Service Centre provides servicing and MOT pricing for all vehicle makes.

This site has also been redeveloped to enhance customer experience.
