SPC CARS – Sports, Prestige, Classic  – OWNERS LOUNGE SPONSOR

Founder Adrian Hogarth set up SPC Cars to assist people in navigating the minefield of car buying. Originally established as a prestige finance broker to offer a cheaper alternative to expensive dealer funding options, it became clear that people also needed assistance in finding vehicles and getting the best deal.

The service offer changed to include vehicle sourcing, which is now a major part of the business, forging relationships with a comprehensive network of trusted suppliers and dealers across the whole spectrum of vehicles from small city cars to £1m hypercars.

The change in market forces and the increased demand for EVs has seen more vehicles supplied on personal and business contract hire schemes. SPC has access to a massive range of vehicles either from stock / pipeline, or to specify and factory order to suit your individual requirements.

As an independent finance broker, SPC Cars also has affiliations with commercial lenders for your plant and commercial asset projects.
