Exhibit 99.1

MANCHESTER INC. OBTAINS DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INSURANCE

Manchester Inc. (OTC BB: MNCS) is pleased to announce that it has obtained an
aggregate of $30 million Directors and Officers Insurance coverage from a group
of insurers including XL Specialty, AIG, Navigators, Admiral/Monitor and
Hudson/Hooghuis.

Mr. James A. Worosz, currently serving as the Company's Senior Vice President of
Finance, said, "We believe the implementation of the D&O insurance coverage will
significantly assist in the corporate development of the Company. We intend to
commence our "Buy Here / Pay Here" car business as soon as commercially
possible. In such regard, the implementation of the D&O insurance coverage will
assist us to assemble the highest quality executive management team and permit
us to invite talented, experienced professionals to serve on our board of
directors."

Manchester Inc. anticipates that its initial acquisition of an existing "Buy
Here/Pay Here" auto dealership will close shortly and expects to pursue the
acquisition of several additional auto dealerships during 2006.
