Description Established in 1975, Eglinton Caravans celebrates its' 29th year in business during 2004. From 1975 until 1982 the company was a successful Sprite dealership. From 1982 to 1987 the company changed direction, concentrating on used caravan sales exclusively. The current owners Mary and Bill Lymburn purchased the company as a going concern in 1987. In 1988 the then new owners took on the Compass dealership, which they hold to this day, making Eglinton the longest serving Compass dealer in Scotland. Adding further brands in 1989 enabled Eglinton to establish a successful niche for itself in the West of Scotland. By 1991 the level of business had increased dramatically and the existing premises were bursting at the seams. The current premises were purchased then, which provided much larger display areas, workshop and accessory shop. By 1997 the brand line-up included Coachman and Elddis and when Explorer Group was launched Eglinton went solus with them. But nothing stands still and when Coachman extracted itself from Explorer Group the opportunity arose to look again at other brands. When Swift Group took over the manufacturing rights to the Ace brand, impressed by the job that they had done and after some negotiations Eglinton took on the Ace brand for 2003. Eglinton believe that it compliments the rest their product line-up admirably and that they have a display to be proud of. Alongside their new caravan sales, Eglinton has built up a fine reputation for it's pre-owned tourer sales. All used vehicles go through a comprehensive inspection and selection process before they are offered for retail sale and when sold carry a comprehensive 12 months parts and labour warranty, which can be extended at a small charge, by the buyer to 36months. This policy has resulted in many happy customers and a lot of repeat business. To help cope with the increased levels of business Eglinton have been experiencing, they have recruited two of the next generation of Lymburns' into the organisation in the form of Bruce as General Manager, and his partner Michelle as Accessory Shop Manager.
