Hi I remember being recommended a car company which was set up originally to supply vicars and had a reputation for good value and honesty. Wondering if anyone can tell me what its called or could recommend something similar for buying a used car?
Thanks

The one I know was Autosave, it was round the corner from where my mum lives.

Autosave went bust & some of the directors started Priory Automotive, selling to Christian organisations & the church.

Look at Newgate Finance.

It seems quite extraordinary to me that vicars would have such distinct automotive needs that a car dealer would be set up purely to indulge them.

What specific requirements might a vicar have in a car? Extra vestment storage? A boot large enough to take a pew?

My ordained family members use one in Sheffield. They have delivered all over the country.

Poverty? www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/06/clergy-hardship-church-of-england-wealth

I know lots of priests - many Anglican - and I don't know a single one that earns even the stipend in the article. One day off a week (supposedly), on call 24/7, and family often also working unpaid for the church. And a car isn't an indulgence for many. It's a requirement.

Oh I thought you meant they booked out vicars as a sideline for weddings etc. Was going to suggest webuyanyvicar.com Grin

Smednotasmoo Priory Automotive is in Sheffield, most of the staff were employed by Autosave.
