Mr Lucknow tells us how the company developed. “I started selling second hand cars from a little car lot down town. 
(Insert picture here) I give you a picture of my car sales point from which I sold second hand cars in those days. As you see, it is now no longer used but this is where I started out.
I was proud of what I had acheived and expect I would still be there but for two things. One was the education I gave to my children and the other was the launch of the Lola Micro range of cars.
I have four children and I can be really proud of their educational sucesses. My eldest is Sanjeev and he followed a business studies course at the university. When he got his degree, he went on to study for an MBA. He has become my international business development director in the new franchises we have gained from Lola Motor Corporation. It was he who saw the potential of the small family car, the Micro, and drove my business forward. 
My daughter Anita wanted to be an accountant and so studied finance for her degree. She became the company sales and finance director and drives us forward in the market. She has set up all our new sales locations and showrooms in each of the European cities where we have expanded.
The youngest of the children, the twins, studied mechanical and electrical engineering at university and have become my technical directors, managing the new cars for delivery, servicing and repairs.
It was pressure from them that made me make the leap forward from my little back street operation. They wanted to push me forward into the world of finance, technology and modern cars. Nothing in my old firm was computerised and I still don’t like to rely on computers. However, the new generation have shown that a modern company cannot exist without electronic communications and services. My nephew designs our web site and maintains overall strategies for computers in the firm.
It was through these modernising influences that Tawara Star Approved Sales was able to get the franchise to sell the Micro range. This car is so well placed to match the market desires that we continue to expand our sales franchises.
The Lola Motor Corporation introduced this range of small cars to meet the aspirations of families who have so far not become car owners and did not expect to be able to afford their own car. They are so well built and environmentally friendly that they are really popular with our new customers.
We started with one showroom in the town where I had my second hand car sales. We soon found that we had plans to expand into other countries and have just opened our latest sales base in Madrid. We now have sales outlets in five major cities across Europe. 
Two new technologies that Lola have developed are hybrid cars using electric power with small petrol engines and fully electric cars which are suitable for running round town. Many new charging points are being installed in town centres so that your car can be recharged while you are shopping. Future plans, at present only concepts, include hydrogen power with the main emission being water.
Here is the range of Micro cars we sell.”
