Whatever you expect or think you know about Kia, we go one step further. It proves our fixation with quality – it explains why so many people choose our cars, and why we keep growing all over the world. Plus, with our state-of-the-art European Factory, the future is brighter than ever for Kia Motors.
In 1900 amidst the beauty of the Lakeland Langdales, the late Robert Smith established a business selling and repairing bicycles, a far cry from the business of today's Rayrigg Motors.
In 1931, Robert Smith died, only to pass the business on to his only son, Neil Smith, who made the decision to incorporate automobiles into the business, specialising in British Leyland models by Austin, MG, Wolseley, Rover and Triumph.
Based in the Windermere area, R Smith Ltd provided people throughout Westmorland with quality service and the latest in automotive design. Since this time, Neil Smith's two sons David Smith and Robert Smith became involved in the business, re-locating the premises to Rayrigg Road, Bowness-on-Windermere and renaming the company 'Rayrigg Motors Ltd'.
We have now been supplying and looking after Kia cars in the South Lakes for over 7 years, and are proud to be a part of this rapidly expanding franchise.
