Invicta Motors - Cambria Group

Invicta Motors - A Century of Automotive Excellence

Invicta Motors Ltd has a rich history dating back to 1923 when it was founded by the Thompson family in Canterbury. Originally established as a Service and Repair Workshop and Petrol Station, Invicta quickly became a trusted name in the community. Despite a setback in 1936 when an explosion caused by a rogue cigarette led to the building's destruction, Invicta was resilient, rebuilding and expanding its business to include an Agricultural Dealership, Truck Dealership, and Body Shop.

By the early 1980s, Invicta had grown its presence in the region with locations in Ramsgate and Margate. In the 1990s, the Canterbury operations were consolidated into a purpose-built facility on Sturry Road, where it continues to serve the local community. The brand's legacy took another significant step forward when it was acquired in 1996 by Summit Motors Investment (UK) Ltd (SMIUK), a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation of Tokyo, and later became part of the Cambria Automobiles family in 2007.
