The history of Arnold Clark

Sir Arnold Clark, a former motor mechanics instructor in the Royal Air Force, founded the company in 1954. After serving with the RAF he was unable to find a job, until he bought a Morris Ten Four for £70, restored it and went on to sell it at a profit.

His next move was to start his first showroom in Park Road, in Glasgow. Over 60 years later, the Arnold Clark Group is now a household name, winning Retailer of the Year several times at the prestigious AM Awards and catering to over 2 million customers.
