Administrators for the Segrave Club are locked into negotiations with a secret potential backer who could put the company on a strong financial footing for the future.
According to PH sources, all the exotic car share clubs are suffering from a dearth of new subscribers as shell-shocked City players keep their heads down following the credit crunch. While established players are likely to be surviving on renewed subscriptions from long-term members, newcomers like the Segrave Club are totally reliant on meeting monthly membership targets to fund operations.
