AFTER looking for some time for the right buyer, property and engineering conglomerate United Engineers (UE) is reportedly close to selling its automotive business, Wearnes, for as much as S$450 million.

The company has been divesting non-core assets. UE said earlier in August that it is divesting indirect subsidiary MFS Technology for S$124 million.

Wearnes distributes luxury cars in South-east Asia, including brands like Bentley, Bugatti, McLaren, Jaguar, Land Rover, Infiniti, BMW and Volvo.
