                       ACQUISITION AND APPROVAL FROM FORD



Lookers plc, a leading UK motor retail group, is delighted to announce that it
has been approved to represent Ford, the UK's leading motor car supplier. The
Company is also pleased to announce that it has acquired certain assets from the
administrator of Dixons. Dixons formerly rented and operated the Ford franchise
from a prominent four acre site in a prime location in Sheffield.



Lookers will be the Ford dealer in Sheffield for both passenger cars and light
commercial vehicles. Lookers expects to re-employ a significant number of the
original dealership staff, made redundant by Dixon Motors when it entered
administration.



Ken Surgenor, Chief Executive of Lookers plc commented:

'We are delighted to have been approved to represent Ford.  The introduction of
Ford into our portfolio complements our existing mix of volume and prestige
brands. We look forward to working with them to expand our representation of the
Ford brand in the UK'.
