New showroom for Ferrari

A new Ferrari dealership has been opened in Auckland by Continental Cars, a division of Sime Darby. The previous outlet for the prancing-horse marque was the Italian Car Centre on the corner of Great South Road and Ngaire Street in Newmarket. The new location is on nearby Broadway. These old premises were vacated around the middle of 2013 when the lease expired. The building needed earthquake strengthening and structural work with sales temporarily moved to Ellerslie. Meanwhile, redevelopment of the nearby Team McMillan BMW facility has started. An old building between Coutts Mercedes-Benz and Continental Cars Volkswagen has been knocked down, with the VW facility expanding. Also, the Auckland Volvo’s new dealership in Greenlane is progressing with the scaffolding being removed with white façade with huge windows revealed. The new site should be fully operational by March.
