Since 1957

Our Story

1957

A Family Business Built on Trust

Our story began with Colin Webb in 1957, when he established K Cars of York, one of the country’s original Volvo dealerships.

Built on honesty, integrity and long-term customer relationships, those values have been passed down through generations and continue to shape StraightRange today.

Three Generations

From K Cars of York to StraightRange

  1. 1957

    K Cars of York

    Colin Webb established K Cars of York, one of the country’s original Volvo dealerships.

  2. The Inheritance

    Honesty, Integrity, Relationships

    Those values have been passed down through generations and continue to shape StraightRange today.

  3. Second Generation

    A Reputation, Not a Turnover

    As a second-generation family business with roots dating back to 1957, we’ve built our reputation on honesty, craftsmanship and exceptional customer service. Those same values continue to guide everything we do today.

  4. Today

    We Measure Success Differently

    We don’t simply count the number of vehicles we sell—we value the relationships we build. Many of our customers return to us for servicing, upgrades, additional vehicles and future projects, and that’s something we’re incredibly proud of.

What We Believe

Three Things, Held To

Exceptional Land Rovers deserve exceptional craftsmanship.

Outstanding customer service never goes out of fashion.

Buying a Land Rover should be the beginning of a lasting relationship, not the end of a transaction.

Our Promise

Our Reputation Is Worth More Than Any Single Vehicle

Our reputation is worth more than any single vehicle we buy or sell. That philosophy has guided our family since 1957 and continues to shape every decision we make today.

Where Relationships Begin & Adventures Follow.

Recently purchased a Mercedes from Simon at Straightrange and had an excellent experience throughout. He was genuinely friendly, extremely helpful, and went above and beyond to assist me, including handling all the paperwork involved in the purchase. The process was smooth and straightforward, the car was exactly as described, and my partner is delighted with it. Thank you, Simon — I hope to buy another vehicle from you in the future. — Bill

I am delighted with the mini I have just purchased from Straightrange. Simon has been really friendly and helpful, he delivered the car to my home the next day and even arranged my tax for me. The car is in great condition and as described. I would highly recommend Straightrange and buy a car from them again.

We bought a small car from Simon as my son will be taking his test soon. Arranging to see the car, take it out for a run and then doing the paperwork afterwards was really quick and easy. Simon is very quick to respond to messages and organised the service etc so that it was ready to pick up within 48 hours. I'd definitely recommend Straightrange, it was a very easy, stress-free purchase.
