Trading Statement

Caffyns PLC 14 March 2006 PROPERTY DISPOSAL Caffyns PLC ('the Company') announces that it has today exchanged contracts with Western Ridge Seaford Limited for the sale of its vacant freehold site at Seaford. The consideration of £1,477,500 is payable in cash on 2 May 2006. The book value of the property is £618,000 and the profit on the sale, net of disposal costs, will be approximately £825,000. The proceeds will be applied in reducing the Company's borrowings. TRADING UPDATE The Chairman reported in the Company's Interim Statement of 25 November 2005 that the process of reorganisation following the demise of MG Rover was progressing. The refranchising of dealerships in Tonbridge and Uckfield should be completed by May and the re-development of the Worthing site should be completed by August. The building works at these and other former MG Rover sites have caused considerable disruption to trading. In addition, the new franchises have been established in a period when there has been a further reduction in demand in the private consumer market in which the Company operates. As a result, the Board anticipates that after taking into account the profit on the sale of the Seaford property, the result before tax in the second half of the current financial year will be broadly breakeven. 14 March 2006 Enquiries: Simon Caffyn Chief Executive Mark Harrison Finance Director Telephone: 01323 730201 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
