Southern Auto Centre

About

Found in Isle of Wight, Southern Auto Centre is a local business. The address at Rodney Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, Southsea PO4 8SY, United Kingdom places it on the mainland side of the crossing, within reach of the island's ferry ports. A 3.5 out of 5 average from 95 reviews places it among the reviewed motoring businesses serving the island's car buyers. Five photographs are attached to the listing, and the website at http://www.southernautocentreltd.co.uk/ remains the primary reference point for anyone planning a visit.

Reaching it from the main resorts is straightforward by ferry and road, with Newport and Ryde among the nearby places that frame the trip, while Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater and Yarmouth sit further afield. The business operates from Southsea rather than the island itself, so a crossing is part of the journey. It trades as a car dealer rather than a general retailer, so its stock and services centre on vehicles.

Summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries, while winter sailings are often cancelled by weather, which can affect travel plans. British islands were fortified in both world wars, and concrete coastal defences still stand on several. Strong tides surround British islands, and the Channel Islands have some of the world's largest tidal ranges. Smoked fish, island cheeses, fudge and bakery bread are sold in island shops and harbourside cafés.
