15 April 2008

                                                                   15 April 2008



                                  Lookers plc


              Proposed Acquisition of Bramall and Jones VW Limited



Lookers plc ('Lookers'), one of the UK's leading motor retail groups, is pleased
to announce the proposed acquisition of the entire share capital of Bramall and
Jones VW Limited ('the Company') for a total cash consideration of approximately
£2 million.

The Company comprises two Volkswagen businesses and a contract hire and leasing
business. This will increase our representation of Volkswagen from 9 to 11
outlets. In addition, it gives us an entry into the contract hire market with an
experienced management team and a fleet of approximately 1,500 vehicles.

In view of the fact that 51% of the Company is owned by DCA Bramall, who is also
a Director of Lookers, shareholder approval is being sought for this
transaction.  A Circular will therefore be posted to shareholders later today.

Completion is anticipated to take place on 1 May 2008.
