The British School of Motoring, the UK’s biggest driving school, has announced that it will revert to using the Vauxhall Corsa at its learning centres beginning March 2011.
The Vauxhall Corsa will begin replacing the current fleet of Fiat 500’s, with the exchange scheduled to be completed by the end 2011.
Vauxhall will provide the British School of Motoring with the 1.2 ecoFLEX and 1.4 litre 5 door Corsa for the next few years under the agreement signed by both parties.
The British School of Motoring had previously spent 16 years with Vauxhall before changing to the Fiat 500 in July 2009. At the time, they said that the Corsa “no longer appealed to its core customers, who tend to be young women who wanted to drive a fashionable car”.
There is apparently over 3000 vehicles in the exchange plan.
When the British School of Motoring first announced their tie up with Fiat in 2009, they said the Fiat 500 was chosen for its “manoeuvrability, safety credentials, its low impact on the environment plus its great visibility.”
