BUZZ-View from the buyside: Miton lifts exposure to UK car retailers post election

** George Godber, manager of CF Miton UK Value Opportunities Fund, has bought more UK car retail stocks after Conservative Party election win which, he says, brings better visibility for the UK consumer

** PM has increased holdings in Vertu Motors (LSE: VTU.L - news) & Lookers (LSE: LOOK.L - news)

** Decisive election result means robust UK economy more likely now as cos/individuals holding back on investment (weak Q1 UK GDP seen as symptom) can now press ahead, say PMs; election outcome seen as more business-friendly (RM (LSE: RM.L - news) : tricia.wright1.thomsonreuters.com@reuters.net)
