The supercar club has been redefined. On 9th October, the Segrave Club was officially unveiled with a taster of their fleet in the windows of Harrods, where a Segrave Ferrari 599, Mercedes McLaren SLR and Lamborghini Gallardo can currently be seen. The new club has been created to answer the fundamental problem with existing shared access car clubs - that 80% of their members only want to drive the top 20% of the cars. This translates into a realistic ratio of truly interesting metal to members of 18:1 for even the best known of the other clubs. The Segrave Club starts where the others end.

Despite their lowest group of vehicles being the equivalent of the top tier of the other clubs they offer a ratio of 6:1.

The fleet simply does not include any lightweights, and at launch consists of

Porsche Carrera GT
Mercedes McLaren SLR
Rolls Royce Phantom*
Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera
Ferrari 599 GTB
Ferrari 430 Spider
Aston Martin DBS
Bentley Continental GTC
Maserati Quattroporte Sport GTS*

*Chauffeur driven, if required


The Segrave Club is funded by a real Who’s Who of the City and will always remain an extremely private members’ club. A waiting list is building for when the club goes live in January and Segrave Chief Executive and supercar club guru Nick Hancock is understandably bullish. “Having set up the first of the supercar clubs from scratch and spent seven years running it, I recognize how the needs of the supercar enthusiast have evolved. The Segrave Club has a level of access three times higher than any of the competition. We have the finest selection of high performance and special production vehicles; no makeweights and no need to put up with what's available. Segrave removes the burden of ownership and provides all the social advantages of a club. No depreciation, no insurance, no trips to the garage to worry about. For those that are serious about driving these cars, it’s the only place to be.”

With a clubhouse in Sir Henry Segrave’s old showroom in Knightsbridge and a City base at Armoury House, home to the Honourable Artillery Company, the Segrave Club has set a standard far above that of the existing car clubs.
