April 18, 20241 min read

The latest roundup from Car Dealer Magazine on April 18 includes significant updates from the motor trade and related fields. A major scam website operation, based in the UK and responsible for duping thousands with phishing schemes, was dismantled by the Metropolitan Police. This operation had reportedly gathered over 480,000 card numbers globally.

Additionally, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has issued a stark warning about the lack of regulatory measures concerning the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace, suggesting potential risks of exploitation and discrimination against workers. They have proposed a legal framework to safeguard employees.

In a lighter vein, a piece of music history is hitting the auction block. The 1953 Bristol KSW 5G bus, famously used by Paul McCartney and Wings for their 1972 tour, has been restored and is expected to fetch between £150,000 and £200,000. This iconic bus journeyed over 7,500 miles across Europe, marking a significant moment in rock history.

Our Guarantee

We’re 100% confident MotorTrade Ai delivers real results for UK dealers — so confident, we’ll prove it upfront before you spend a penny.

Everything we offer is built to drive a near-instant return on investment. In fact, most of our dealer partners start

earning before they’ve even paid us.

No fluff. No risk. Just results.

Heard it all before?!

How do you know it will be different this time?


Built by the trade, for the trade.


We know exactly what it’s like to run a dealership—because we’ve done it ourselves. Between us, we’ve owned and operated car dealerships for years, spending hundreds of thousands of pounds on marketing and advertising to try and move more metal.


Some of it worked. A lot of it didn’t. We bought into shiny promises that looked great on paper but delivered nothing but a lighter bank balance.


That’s why we built

MotorTrade Ai

—an AI-driven solution designed specifically for the UK motor trade, by people who’ve actually been in it.


We’ve used our combined 50+ years of experience to create tools that help you:


- Book sales appointments with previous customers

- Generate 5⭐️ Google reviews

- Manage inbound leads and turn them into buyers

- Drive real, measurable ROI—even in slow months like December


And we do all of this cost-effectively, with speed and simplicity.


We’re proud to say that our customers see a near-instant return on investment—and we’re always happy to

prove it upfront.


The motor trade is a small world, and unless you’ve lived it, you don’t truly get it. That’s what makes MotorTrade Ai different. We’re not a tech startup trying to break into the industry—we’re the industry, using AI to solve real problems that real dealers face every day.
