    The new showroom is on the Wetherby Road. A shortage in new car availability is proving good news for the used car market.

    A new used car dealership has launched in Harrogate which aims to make buying a vehicle an "enjoyable and relaxed experience".

    Carlingo, which is based in the former Evans Halshaw showroom on Wetherby Road, has more than 120 cars in stock, ranging from a Nissan Micra to  Porsche Macan.

    The company says it believes in "quality not quantity" and prides itself on finding cars that have the most desired optional extras. These include  a panoramic sunroof, heated seats, sat nav and upgraded alloys.

    The second hand market grew 11.5 per cent on the back of the short supply of new vehicles, with 777,997 more sales than the previous year, according to figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

    The showroom on Freeman's Way has been refurbished and boasts stylish modern interior.
