About Us Lancaster Motor Group - Singleton began their business nearly 90 years ago when a 27 year old Harold Earl Lancaster went into business repairing milking equipment. It was a loan from a business acquaintance, AB Shaw that helped Harold to establish the business, and a promise of good customer service ensured people repeatedly returned. Within one year, Harold called on the services of his brother Dick who recently returned from World War I, and soon the company began to sell new Ford, Maxwell & Studebaker vehicles and well as the Republic trucks. Success continued and the brother’s sister, Mrs Blick joined the firm in 1924. In 1927 Lancaster's was appointed the General Motor's dealer in Singleton selling; Pontiac, Chevrolet, & Oakland vehicles, until 1971 when the dealer agreement was not renewed. In 1938, the second generation of Lancaster's became involved in the business. Don Lancaster son of Dick worked in the company until his retirement in 1987. Harold' son in law George Tisdal also had an impressive record of service, with 45 years in the business, starting from 1939. Throughout history Lancaster's has survived the threat of two major disasters, the first was a flood in 1955 and the second was a fire in 1971 that tore through the front section of the John street dealership, destroying its structure as well as files. On completion of the new 80 John street building, in the same year Lancaster's was appointed the Chrysler dealer, this later became known as Mitsubishi. The current Dealer Principal Chris Lancaster began with the firm in 1976. Since that time he has seen the company appointed the dealer for: Daihatsu, Holden, Fuso Trucks, & Hyundai In 1998, the fourth generation of Lancaster started the business, Mark Lancaster who is now the company's General Manager alone with his father Chris has seen the business go from strength to strength.
