A word from the
Dealer Principal
Welcome to the first edition of our e-news for 2007. Welcome to our new customers, and those receiving our e-news for the first time. I trust you all had an enjoyable and relaxing festive season.
As you have no doubt read in the press the motor vehicle industry finished just short of the all time record set in 2005 with a total of 962,521 vehicles sold.
One of the stars of the year was Chrysler Jeep Dodge, with a massive 20% increase.
A lot of you will have noticed our Chrysler Jeep showroom has been demolished. We are now in the process of building a larger facility to accommodate the brands growth, as well as our appointment as a Dodge outlet.
Check out the “Look What’s Coming in 2007” article to find out more.
Enjoy this issue, and I wish you happy and safe motoring in 2007.
Andrew Brown,
Dealer Principal. |
Congratulations and well done to Geoff Brice from our parts department on the achievement of 40 years of service.
Back in 1966 Geoff started with Fairway Ford on Unley Road, and stayed on when it was purchased by Adrian Brien Ford.
To mark the occasion, Geoff was presented with a gold watch. It will replace the watch he received for his 25th anniversary! He wore his old watch daily, but it will now become his “back up watch”.
From all the team at Adrian Brien, well done on your achievement Geoff.

| NEW SHOWROOM UNDER CONSTRUCTION |
The new Chrysler Jeep showroom foundations are down and our builders are constantly telling our manager Martin Dennis that he has to move stock in order to make room for them. In order to keep our builders happy, Martin has total approval to go the extra mile and ensure we sell as many vehicles during our demolition and building phase.
So come down and put Martin and his team to the test. If they’re not on the yard you’ll find them in our temporary “showroom” – the large yellow and white hut on the Northern boundary.
