Chris Harris helps to spend £1.6mil in a day on fast cars

Imagine spending £1.6 million on seven dream cars in the space of just eight hours. Picture making your way from dealership to plush dealership, writing the kind of cheques you’d normally associate with property purchases, and ending up with a fleet of exotic metal fit for a supercar club. Having trouble? Autocar understands. That’s why writer-at-large Chris Harris spent a day doing exactly that, with chief executive of The Segrave Club Nick Hancock. Hancock was assembling Segrave’s brand new fleet of fast cars, taking deliveries and making orders at Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, Mercedes and Aston Martin all in the same day. The club’s fleet already consists of a Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari 599 GTB, Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and Maserati Quattroporte Sport GTS, and our man Harris was along for the ride while its manager picked up the rest of its star attractions.Harris’ video is a record of the kind of day – and the kind of expenditure - that most car-lovers would struggle to comprehend, let alone replicate. If you’re at all interested in the experience of car-buying, it’s a must see. Click here to watch it.
