It is the biggest car supermarket in Surrey selling new and used cars from brands like Citroën, Dacia. Fiat, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault and Vauxhall. ==History== The company started life as a driving school in 1904. Originally known as the Wilsons Group, the idea for a driving school came about when Howard Wilson and his wife Florence Wilson purchased a car and taught themselves how to drive. Friends and neighbours grew envious and asked the Wilsons to teach them. As a result, Howard and Florence started the driving school. During World War I, the driving school was used to teach Australian and New Zealand troops how to drive army trucks. After the war, there was a growth in demand for cars and the Wilsons decided to sell vehicles by opening their first dealership in Epsom, Surrey. Wilsons became an authorised Renault dealer in 1953 – one of the first in the UK. Dealerships for Citroën, Dacia, Fiat, Nissan, Peugeot and Vauxhall soon followed. Wilsons also sells approved used and used cars from other car brands. Wilsons operates others brands including Loads of Vans based in Cheam. The company also provides automotive services including MOT, renting, servicing and bodyshop repairs. Today, Wilsons employs more than 200 people and sells around 9500 cars a year. The company is still managed by the fourth generation of the Wilsons family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wilsons of Epsom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
