Muscats Motors

Muscats Motors, one of the four car companies within the organisation’s automotive division. Muscats Motors is the franchise holder for BMW, Citroen, MINI, Daihatsu and Land Rover.

Muscats Motors, as its name implies, originally belonged to the Muscat family who built the garage in Gzira where it also operated under the name of Muscats Garage. The original building won an award for its architectural merits.

However, during the war, the building was given over to the RAF who apparently used it to maintain Spitfire plane engines and this, so family lore has it, was the reason why the building was bombed during hostilities. It was then rebuilt and the Mizzi family bought not just the building but also the Muscat name, under which it has continued to trade ever since.

Muscats Motors has been representing Land Rover since the 1950s, Citroen soon after, Daihatsu since 1978 and BMW for the past 13 years, since the merger between Rover and BMW forced the German firm to choose between the two companies in Malta, each of which represented one brand.
