Inside Tom Hartley Junior's INCREDIBLE car dealership | Selling Supercars Episode 5

2024-05-05に共有
Tom Hartley Junior's story is an astonishing one. He left school at 11 and started selling supercars in his dad's family business – but then, 10 years ago, he made a break for it and set up on his own and it's been a monumental success.

In an unassuming industrial estate in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, he has housed some of the world's most incredible cars and in this episode of our Selling Supercars series he talks us through why he started the business, what makes him different and opens up about that difficult split from his dad.

We even managed to convince him to take us for a spin in a stunning Ferrari Dino where we chat about his grand plans for his new site, a Mecca for supercar lovers, that he's currently building in the Cotswolds.

Join us as we take a look around his showroom and meet one of the most successful classic, hyper and supercar dealers on the planet.

    Where his father survives on quoting net worth, the hilariously named 'Hartley Estate', name dropping and confusing success with wealth, it appears his greatest success, completely unbeknown to him, has been bringing up this gentleman.

    Pure class, a different league to his father. Very knowledgeable and not arrogant at all.
  • It’s incredible for someone who by his own admission didn’t finish school conventionally, yet has such an incredible command of the vocabulary and terminology, it’s like listening to a scholarly auctioneer at a fine auction house. I could listen to him all day.
  • Tom Hartley Jr has a real passion for collectible cars and gives his customers service that is second to none.
  • I did feel Tom Hartley jnr very much down to earth , not arrogant in anyway. Basically someone you could do business with. Great vid
  • I bought a vehicle from THJ in 2023, my first dealings, and can confirm that the service and product was every bit as he explains in the video. Vehicle a little more expensive than similar elsewhere but the process was immaculate. Will 100% re-patronise.
  • The best of the hartleys I’d feel comfortable doing business with him
  • @niguel4438
    New subscriber. What an episode to discover. I’m retired now but Tom gets the old business juices flowing again. What a businessman who knows instinctively it’s all about the right people.
  • Great video. Tom's passion for the cars is lovely to see. He truly cares about the individual cars with a passion. He comes across as a nice unpretentious bloke too, considering the amounts of money involved.
  • The old man sounds like a nightmare to work with, I see why Tom wanted to branch out on his own
  • Thank you for the charming video and its delicate and insightful Q&A.
  • On the (very) steady drive out in the Dino, I could imagine the driver of the red Honda Jazz stuck behind thinking "Why doesnt this Dino get a chuffing move on?!"
  • Tom seems like a man who's doing business the right way, for the right reasons... And that's how you become truly successful and build a reputation. That's no easy thing to do, especially when you have a family name that precedes you and you want to build that reputation on your own terms. I salute you Tom.
  • I really love how down to earth Tom is, and equally love his exquisite taste in older vehicles. May his new venture go well
  • Just watched the entire video in one hit. Tom Jr would be a great guy to work for i have no doubt. I dare say i big part of setting up on his own would be to separate himself from his brother and aspects of his reputation as well.
  • THJ is so knowledgeable, a proper upstanding business man who is passionate about his business, he is at the top of the game but will never rest on his laurels, and he comes across as a very nice guy, great video just wish it had been longer.
  • What an impressive man ! His father and brother could learn some humility from him . Love the story so far and looking forward to seeing it going forward.
