Imperial Auto Information

Our story dates back to 1947, with the opening of a motor dealership in downtown Johannesburg that became the first building block in the IMPERIAL Group. Our group now employs over 51 000 people and has the largest network of motor dealerships in South Africa, representing all the country’s major vehicle brands.
