Hi guys,

Did anyone make it to the launch party on Sat? What cars were there?

Also is anyone thinking of joining/already a member?

I am toying with the idea of a membership for the new year as I am based in Sheffield and I have a burning desire to drive some exotica.

I would love to hear views/experiences from existing/prospective members.

Cheers

Eviltad

They were at cars in the park with an F430 and a DB9 (i think as wasnt paying much attention) if that helps.

I am Paul the MD of ecurie (North) and would first of all like to thank the 100 or so people that attended our launch on Saturday and the many visitors to the stand at Cars in The Park on Sunday.

We have on our fleet the following - Aston DBS, DB9, V8 Vantage, Lamborghini LP 560-4, Ferrari California, Ferrari F430 Spider F1, Audi R8, Maserati Granturismo, Bentley Continental GT, Maserati Granturismo S, Jaguar XKR 5.0 Supercharged (latest Model), Jaguar XF SV8 Supercharged (4.2). Some of our cars are rotated on a 6 weekly basis with the London branch in order to give members more choice and help with utilisation / demand.

We also have orders placed for the Ferrari F458 & 599, Aston DBS Volante and Maserati Grancabrio!

I am not sure I am allowed to put contact details on the post, however, if you go to the ecurie25.co.uk website and obtain our contact details from their I would be delighted to speak to any interested parties about the fleet and membership options plus arrange to have a private viewing of the cars.

Paul

Ok, you have my attention! If I can bring myself to part with the 355 I'm very tempted since since I dont know what I'd replace it with.

Hi Jonty,

If you want to give me a call I would be happy to discuss membership options and would be happy to help with the disposal of your 355 (if that is what you wish to do). My contact details are on the ecurie website under the locations section (Leeds). I once again do not wish to infringe on the rules of the site and and therefore mindful of not wishing to appear to be promoting the club on the gassing station of the site. I hope the information I have supplied is viewed as being supplied in a fair way and only in the interests of offering assistance to users of the forum.

Regards Paul

Mr Whippy

Welcome Paul,

I think you are ok to post in clear and direct response to a topic about your own business, so no worries on that front I don't think.

Glad to see e25 move up north and I hope you get lots of business, I'd like to join up for a few years but alas I'm not quite wealthy enough yet smile

Maybe in a few more years if times stay good!



Just as general interest, has e25 ever considered older cars on their fleet? As much as the latest supercars interest me, I still have a hankering to try and enjoy lots of older ones too. Things like mk1 911 GT3, Vanquish, F360 CS, 964 RS etc. Is this just not expected from supercar rental clubs ever, or would it be something that eventually was catered for in the business model? (I suppose the issue is mileage would ruin these kinds of future or current classics value as much as the new cars making them as expensive to offer, but not as generally appealing to as wide a market)

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave,
We had considered the classic / older car option, however, to try and accomodate this type of service would probably result in us offering a service that is not as focussed as specialising in the latest models of Supercar. There are also companies that service this market and therefore it is our intention to arrange some form of exchange facility with a specialist that allows members to use credits with another provider for the use of these vehicles.

I look forward to welcoming you as a club member in the future and please feel free to come in and see our facilities and fleet,

Paul

Good luck with ecurie25 (North), Paul. I am sure it'll be a hit !

I was a member of ecurie25(South) for 3 years. I reckon those 3 years were the best of my life.

Cheers.

Crush a 355 - never! I should have said we could help find someone who would like to take over the long term care of your 355.

Thanks for the wishes of luck Justin, our member list is growing rapidly and myself and the team are really excited about the coming year - I think I probably have the best job in the world.

Paul
