More Than Just Buying Cars
We're proud of what we do beyond the forecourt — from supporting great causes to getting muddy in the Welsh hills.
The British Motor Show
We Provided a Car to The British Motor Show's Car Football Arena
We're incredibly proud to have provided our silver Vauxhall Corsa to The British Motor Show for use in their legendary Car Football Arena Challenge — one of the most crowd-pleasing spectacles at the whole event.
The Car Football Arena is exactly what it sounds like: cars being used as the players in a full-on football match. It's chaotic, it's brilliant, and it draws huge crowds every year. We were absolutely delighted when the team at BMS reached out and we could play a small part in making it happen.
Seeing our Corsa out there on the arena floor — complete with its Spanish flag livery and Silverlake branding — was a genuinely proud moment for us. Cars we buy don't always go on to live glamorous lives, but this one certainly did. The British Motor Show is a fantastic event celebrating everything that makes car culture great, and we're honoured to have contributed to it.

The automotive industry is a tough world. Long hours, physical demands, financial pressure, and a culture that doesn't always make it easy to ask for help. That's why we're proud to support BEN — the charity dedicated to the health and wellbeing of everyone who works, or has worked, in the UK automotive industry.
Men's mental health is something we feel strongly about. It's still not talked about enough, and in an industry like ours — where the expectation is often to just get on with it — the pressure can build up quietly until it becomes a real crisis. BEN is there to make sure nobody has to face that alone.
We've seen first-hand how valuable BEN's support can be. Whether it's their confidential helpline, mental health resources, or financial assistance, they genuinely make a difference to real people's lives. We've used their services ourselves and can honestly say they are an outstanding organisation staffed by people who truly care.
If you work in the automotive industry and you're struggling — with your mental health, your finances, or anything else — please don't hesitate to reach out to BEN. There is no shame in asking for help, and these people are brilliant at providing it. We'll continue to support their work for as long as we're in business.
3 Days, 3 Trails, and a Whole Lot of Mud — Our Wales Off-Road Adventure
We recently packed up the Land Rovers, loaded the roof tents, and headed to Wales for a 3-day off-road camping trip that we'll be talking about for years. Mid-Wales is genuinely one of the most spectacular places in the UK for green laning and off-roading, and this trip did not disappoint.
Over three days we tackled three iconic trails: Strata Florida, the notoriously challenging B@stard Lane, and the stunning Happy Valley. Each one offered something completely different — from rocky climbs and deep ruts to river crossings and breathtaking ridge-top views across the Welsh countryside.
We camped wild each night using our roof tents — there's nothing quite like waking up in the middle of nowhere with a brew in hand and mountains all around you. Campfires, good company, and the kind of silence you just can't get at home. It was a proper reset.
We're already planning the next one. If you're into off-roading and you haven't explored Mid-Wales yet, put it on your list — it's absolutely world-class terrain. And if you've got a 4x4 you're looking to sell before your next adventure, you know where to find us.
