Wrapped in Maitlands red, white and blue livery, the vehicles are being used as viewing cars by staff at the Saltash, Ivybridge, Plympton and Plymouth offices.

Supplied by Bristol Street Motors and operated on 33-month lease with maintenance and contract hire agreements by Alphabet Fleet Management, the DS3s will cover around 13,500 miles per annum in Maitlands' service.

Maitlands have reported a busy few months for the Citroëns, with the cars transporting employees to over 1000 viewings. The DS3s also form part of the company's pro-active marketing activities which include being displayed at local shows and exhibitions and for Maitlands sponsored and supported school visits.

Andrew Blacklock, Maitlands' managing director, commented, ‘We love the modern design of DS3, the spacious interior and the way they are a perfect fit for our forward thinking business approach. Equally importantly, all our team members enjoy driving them, as they are very economical and nippy. We have had great customer feedback, commenting that the Maitlands branding complements the style of the cars, making the DS3 really stand out on the street.’
