 PROFILE
The sun never sets on vehicle-selling giant Inchcape. Begun as a shipping and export company during the golden age of the British Empire, Inchape spans the globe with its automotive distribution, retail, and financing operations. The group distributes the vehicles of 12 major manufacturers from the US, Asia, and Europe. It sells primarily cars built by Mazda and Toyota, while Jaguar, BMW, Peugeot, Subaru, and Ferrari represent a significant portion of sales, too. Retail operations are concentrated in the UK. It also owns Autobytel UK, which sells cars online in the UK. (It licenses the name from US-based Autobytel.com.)
