History

In 1900 amidst the beauty of the Lakeland Langdales, the late Robert Smith established a business selling and repairing bicycles, a far cry from the business of today's Rayrigg Motor Group.

In 1931, Robert Smith died, only to pass the business on to his only son, Neil Smith, who made the decision to incorporate automobiles in the business, specialising in British Leyland models by Austin, MG, Wolseley, Rover and Triumph.

Based in the Windermere area, R Smith Ltd provided people throughout Westmorland with quality service and the latest in automotive design. Since this time, Neil Smith's two sons David Smith and Robert Smith became involved in the business, re-locating the premises to Rayrigg Road, Bowness-on-Windermere and renaming the company 'Rayrigg Motors Ltd'.

In 1990 Rayrigg Motors Ltd expanded to incorporate a second premise in Kendal, followed by Barrow-in-Furness in 1994 and most recently in Morecambe in 2001. The Kendal premises were sold in January 2004 to enable further expansion opportunities within the group.
