MALTON builder S Harrison Construction Ltd has begun work on a new £600,000 car sales showroom and garage for Scarborough-based Volkswagen dealership, Des Winks.

Completion is expected by December.

Harrison is working closely with PCP Architects of Harrogate to create a showroom in the corporate VWQ style, including a display area for seven cars and an open-plan workshop. There will also be an outdoor display area for 50 cars.
