Sytner Group plc
 PROFILE
Sytner Group chairman Frank Sytner was once a champion at racing cars; now he wants to be a champion at selling them. Founded by Sytner (who won the British Touring Car Championship) and his brother in the 1960s, Sytner Group operates about 45 new and used car dealerships under various names in the UK. Most locations specialize in the sale and repair of luxury cars, including BMW, Ferrari, Lotus, and Porsche. The group also operates a parts and accessories business and is the sole UK distributor for BMW's rare Alpina motorcar. Sytner Group has grown primarily through acquisitions; in 1999 the company acquired Ixion Motor Group, adding 11 franchises. Frank Sytner owns about 27% of the company.
