As a family-owned business, the group has consistently delivered customer satisfaction with unparalleled service and a stunning ŠKODA model range at their principal dealerships in Winchester and Aldershot.

The new Norton Motorcycles franchise opened on Friday 1st February and will be located at the same address as their Petersfield Used Car Centre. A dedicated showroom and forecourt, along with servicing and MOT workshop ramps for all makes, will transform the existing Petersfield location into a haven for motorcycle enthusiasts.

Why Norton?
Norton, with a rich heritage spanning 125 years, is synonymous with iconic handmade bikes from the UK. These bikes exude heritage, style and elegance in their design, making them a perfect fit for Winchester Motor Group's commitment to excellence.

The move to introduce Norton Motorcycles to Petersfield is a strategic one. Currently, the nearest Norton dealerships are located in Bristol and Crawley, making the Petersfield location significantly more convenient for motorcycle enthusiasts in the South of England.

Exciting Prospects Await
Norton's legacy of launching new models aligns seamlessly with Winchester Motor Group's forward-thinking approach. Mark Mills-Goodlet, Managing Director of Winchester Motor Group, expressed enthusiasm about the possibilities that come with owning a Norton franchise.

"We're thrilled to bring Norton Motorcycles to Petersfield. With a history steeped in craftsmanship and innovation, Norton aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering excellence and choice to our valued customers."

In addition to selling new and a selection of quality used Norton motorbikes, Winchester Motor Group will provide comprehensive service and MOT for all bike models. The showroom will feature a rotating collection of heritage bikes, allowing enthusiasts to witness the legacy of Norton up close.

Grand Launch Event
There will be an official launch for the new franchise and showroom later in February at which there will be a number of attractions including some historic Norton bikes. This event promises an exclusive preview of the new showroom, a showcase of Norton's latest models and an opportunity to meet the team.

A Significant Investment
This venture represents a large investment by Winchester Motor Group, underlining their commitment to providing the best in motorcycles and service to the community. The Petersfield location will not only house a wide selection of Norton bikes but will also be a hub for motorcycle enthusiasts seeking expert servicing and maintenance.

Winchester Motor Group welcomes all motorcycle enthusiasts and the local community to join them in celebrating this exciting addition to their portfolio. For more information and updates, visit winchestermotorgroup.co.uk.
