Quite suprising, judging by the number of Porches you see on the road now a days! In my opinion they are so common they don't even turn heads any more! Not saying they arn't a great car, which they obviously are, just not "special" like they used to be.

I would think the Harley dealership would be more cost effective to close....surely they sell/make more profit from the Porsche and Used car dealerships than the bike one? Unless its being propped up by Harley UK?

Seems a shame but they are only looking at the idea I guess....

The £3m project to create the dealership on the outskirts of the city only began in the autumn of 2007, following the sale by Mr Dacre's father, Graham, of his Lind network of dealerships to Inchcape for more than £100m the year before.

Smart cookie - I bet it's worth a lot less than that now.
