CarGurus and PistonHeads provide a unified dealer product offering, giving UK dealers single point access to a broad audience of informed buyers and maximum visibility for their vehicles. The CarGurus marketplace gives consumers the confidence to search for vehicles either online or in-person and gives dealerships the power to accurately price, effectively market and quickly sell vehicles - all with a nationwide reach. The company uses proprietary technology and data analytics to bring trust, transparency and competitive pricing to the automotive shopping experience. PistonHeads is quickly becoming the number one platform to buy, sell and own premium, performance and collectible cars.

Launched in 1991 as the in-house finance broker within a Liverpool-based motor group, Mann Island Finance evolved into a substantial independent motor finance brokerage working with dealers across the UK before being acquired by international banking and wealth management group Investec in 2014.
Today, Mann Island has evolved into a multi-award-winning motor finance lender, noted for its service, technology and continuing dealer-dedicated positioning.
In today’s evolving motor retailing and financing landscape, where Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are becoming increasingly important, Mann Island Finance is committed to being at the heart of the change journey, collaborating with the dealer community.
