A MAJOR car retailer has closed down one of its Scottish showrooms after almost 30 years in business.
Arnold Clark announced its Dundee showroom on East Dock Street would be shutting its doors although no jobs have been lost.
The firm, which has over 200 branches across the UK, has been selling cars from the Vauxhall branch for 27 years.

The company told The Courier earlier this year that it was planning to close the East Dock Street showroom.
It has since been officially confirmed the showroom is closing down for good as part of a “consolidation” of all Arnold Clark brands into one showroom.
No jobs have been lost as all staff have been moved to other Arnold Clark branches throughout the area.
The firm has other dealerships throughout Dundee, including ones on Kingsway and Balfield Road.

A statement from Arnold Clark said: “Arnold Clark can confirm the closure of the Dundee Vauxhall branch on East Dock Street.
“Our employees have relocated to other Arnold Clark branches in the area. Customers will receive the same quality service they’ve become accustomed to at Arnold Clark Dundee on Balfield Road.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
