Attention fellow PH members, I need your help please.

I have the opportunity to help expand an existing London based Supercar club into Sussex & Surrey. Having spoken to all sorts of alleged industry professionals it suddenly dawned on me why not ask direct the most knowledgeable bunch of people out there, the Piston Heads members.

On reading previous discussions it seems obvious that although you like the concept of a supercar club not everyone lives in central London. Why waste your allocated mileage & time driving the car home?

Is the key to keeping you the customer happy delivering the car by trailer to your door?

We need 40 members to make the investment viable. Fees are industry norm, one off £1,500 joining fee then £10,000 per year giving on average 4,500 miles driving over 40 days. On the face of it 40 members across Surrey & Sussex seems very achievable but I will not risk people’s money. We would need enough members/serious interest to ensure financial stability before pressing the button.

Members will have access to Aston DBS, Gallardo LP560, Bentley Mulliner, F430 spider, Gallardo Spider, R8, Maserati Grand Turismo, etc.

As you can imagine this is a huge financial decision for me and your feedback will be invaluable.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, how do you fund or finance the cars, service and maintenance and depreciation all need to be factered in ??.
I know the guy that supplies supercars to the thruxton supercar hire day,s he has a fantastic collection, but need to be rotated before the mileage kills them, also people such as myself would want the most up to date models. That would be my input but the very best of luck
