About Taylors Motor Group

Take a journey with us from our beginnings, way back in the 1950s.

The Taylor’s journey has been an interesting one, from its modest beginnings to currently employing around 100 people and selling over 2,000 cars annually.

The business you see today has five showrooms spread throughout Boston, Skegness and Spalding in Lincolnshire, with franchises that include Ford, Vauxhall and Peugeot.

The Beginning

Peter and Daphne Taylor started the business in 1959 from a rented workshop in the village of Stickford, some 11 miles north of Boston in Lincolnshire. The landlord denied Peter’s request to cut down some trees to open up the site, so at the suggestion of his Bank Manager, he purchased the site.

Within a few months, business was booming and Peter tried to obtain a motor vehicle franchise, but as he did not have a showroom and could not afford to build one, his requests were turned down.

First Dealer Franchise

In 1960, Peter saw a television program showing rows of Renault Dauphines at Southampton docks awaiting sale, so he hatched a plan. He arranged for a builder to deposit building materials at the Stickford site and invited Renault UK to visit.

He managed to convince them that work was about to start on the showroom and a dealer agreement was signed there and then! This allowed him to obtain the necessary funding from the bank, planning permission was obtained, and the showroom was built.

Peter worked long hours to establish the business in the early days, throughout this time he was supported by his wife Daphne, who also had the task of bringing up six children, four of whom have subsequently joined the business.

The Expansion

Taylors started its expansion by moving from Stickford to takeover a run-down garage in the village of Hagworthingham some 7 miles north of the current site.
