IT is truly the end of an era as a used car dealership near Newton Abbot has announced it will close at the end of August.

A staple among the community for more than 50 years, Denbury Diesels is looking to sell off its remaining vehicles as owners Mike and Tracey Perryman announce their retirement.

In a post to its Facebook page, the dealership described its 54 years of trading as ‘amazing’, paying tribute to its ‘lovely’ customers both past and present.

As part of its retirement sale, the dealership is giving two year free warranty with all vehicles sold.

A purpose-built garage and dealership, Denbury Diesels were one of the largest independent vehicle retailers in Devon.

The company has been providing quality, used vehicles for over three generations.
