Almost two thirds of UK car buyers will steer clear of showrooms that have fully embraced July 19’s “freedom day” by ditching their COVID-19 safety measures, a What Car? survey has revealed.
A total of 63.7% of the poll of 1,322 in-market buyers told the consumer magazine they would avoid visiting a showroom with no COVID-19 measures.

Marshall Motor Holdings Plc (LON:MMH), together with its subsidiaries, engages in retailing passenger cars and commercial vehicles in the United Kingdom. It sells new and used vehicles; and provides after sales services, such as servicing, body shop repairs, and parts sales.
