D. M. Keith Motor Group

Duncan Keith - father of Angus and Dougal who now head up the company - started the business immediately after WW2 doing servicing and repairs. But his technical skill and business acumen meant that business blossomed and in 1972 he started selling Russian built Moskvich cars, and then Lada. But in 1976 he switched to Czech-built ŠKODA (a wise move!) which has remained the cornerstone of the company's operations ever since.

From humble beginnings all those years ago, to a multi franchise motor group with 24 sites & representing 10 brands, read all about the history of D. M. Keith over at the main D. M. Keith website
