WELCOME TO CANALSIDE CARS

Canalside Cars was founded in 2023 by experienced vehicle technicians Richard Appleton and Tom Lloyd of Blossomgate Motors. With a combined 50 years “on the spanners” in the motor trade, we’ve built our reputation on technical expertise, honesty, and a genuine passion for quality vehicles.

Based at our modern premises in Ripon, North Yorkshire, our years of experience have shaped the way we buy and sell vehicles. We carefully select every car, using our knowledge to identify quality examples that we would be proud to own ourselves.

Every vehicle undergoes a thorough pre-sale inspection and preparation in our own workshop to ensure it meets our exacting mechanical standards. We also take great pride in the presentation of our vehicles, carrying out as much cosmetic preparation as possible to ensure every car is presented at its very best. Attention to detail is at the heart of everything we do.

Our goal is simple: to provide high quality used vehicles, prepared to the highest standard, backed by honest advice and exceptional customer service. Whether you’re buying your first car or your next one, we’re committed to making the experience straightforward, transparent, and enjoyable.
