New INEOS agent in Melbourne

[grenadierboy]

Drove past this new INEOS Grenadier showroom in Melbourne - never seen it before.

Does anyone know which agent this is?

It had an old 2B 004 protype in the showroom. No furniture, people or any activity.

Near corner of Glenhuntly & Booran roads in Melbourne.

Wow I bet you were surprised to drive past that.

I love that Scottish white.

Totally but no signage to indicate agents name which is odd

Ineos going direct? If your experience with the Melbourne dealer was anything to go by, then perhaps they need to.

I will keep an eye on it as I drive past once per week.

The entrance with the shop window looks like an abandoned butcher store from the 60s.

It's retro

Does the QR code link to the normal INEOS site or somewhere else??

It's a bit harsh parking one next to an old Defender...

Could it be the long term base for Justin Hocevar and his team?

Drove past today and stopped to take a look. They've got gates on the side now leading to a rear carpark. 2 other protos or PTs parked down there from what I could see.

When I took a look a couple of weeks ago I could see that there's quite a big office at the back behind the showroom. Lots of desks, meeting table, computer screens.

If this is the Brighton Auto Group must say I have been less than enthralled with their level of customer service, only made first contact (by email) with me recently after placing my order seven months ago and said I had four days to finalise my configuration. Wonder if Halliwell Jones Chester can handle an Australian delivery???

Hmm, sounds like I'd better give them a call with my tweaks to the order.
Good luck with yours! Was your contact Frank somebody?

Apparently this location in Melbourne is Ineos themselves and not a dealer, spoke to Brighton Auto Group today and they are going to open a showroom in their old Renault service/parts site on Nepean Hwy.

Great - easy to order spares and view options

But they still have to polish the appearance a bit.

I am sure they can afford it….
