AN ONLINE advertising and marketing service for W. Midlands used car dealers is going from strength to strength.Although the business only started in November last year, it's already attracting hundreds of used car buyers a day. "I estimate that around 8% of searches for used cars made on Google, MSN and Yahoo in the West Midlands arrive at my site." said Charles Rapson who, as product launch manager at MG Rover, was one of the first to be made redundant when the car maker collapsed.Traffic to the site in January grew by 250% over December and the growth continues into February. Carhunt.co.uk offers dealers and traders a variety of schemes starting at £50 per week for up to 20 cars, rising to £200 pw for an unlimited number of cars.
Charles Rapson worked at Longbridge for 30 years, joining the company as one of the last Austin apprentices.
