of complying with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of
the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose.

What a review of interim financial statements involves
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use
in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of
making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and, consequently, does not
enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant
matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express
an audit opinion.
We have read the other information contained in the Interim Report and
considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the information in the interim financial statements.

Notes:
(a) The maintenance and integrity of the Inchcape plc website is the
responsibility of the directors; the work carried out by the auditors does not
involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept
no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the interim
financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.
(b) Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and
dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other
jurisdiction

Reporting' as adopted by the European Union
and that the Interim Report includes a fair review of the information required

months and their impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements;

six months of the financial year; and
