Classic Parade announces its incorporation as an LTD company

LONDON, March 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — After 20 years under family ownership, Classic Parade, a hypercar hire company in London, will now effective immediately become an LTD company that has financial backing from Qatari investors.

This move comes from a strategic business decision to focus on growth beyond the United Kingdom. Currently, Classic Parade services luxury hypercar hire customers all over the UK, but with the revitalizing investment from its new owners, it aims to become the premium hypercar hire company that services all of Europe. No other luxury supercar for–hire provider serves that large of a geographical location in the area; Classic Parade will be the first.

Its existing portfolio of vehicles is vast, including well–known brands in the luxury vehicle community such as Ferrari, McLaren, Rolls Royce, Porsche, Audi, and more. A hire agreement can be completed in as little as 24 hours, making it possible to get a next–day hypercar hire in the UK. With these same services offered in all of Europe, Classic Parade will expand its fleet to meet the demand of its growing customer base. All of the available vehicles can be found on Classic Parade's website, but a brief snapshot of the Classic Parade fleet is as follows:

  • Ferrari SF90 Stradale: The Ferrari SF90 Stradale has impressive power with 986 bhp. In a bold red color, this is one of the most sought–after vehicles today.
  • McLaren Speedtail: The sleek body of this vehicle offers aerodynamics and its 1050 bhp is a selling point for many customers.
  • Lamborghini Sian: With a daily rate of 6000, this model sits at the top tier of available Lamborghinis. It features 808 bhp and goes from 0–60 MPH in 2.8 seconds.
  • Porsche 918 Spyder: With a price of 3500 per day, drivers can test out the Porsche 918 Spyder's ability to get from 0–60 MPH in 2.2 seconds.

Supercar hires have a range of price points, with each agreement requiring a security deposit. When the vehicle is returned to Classic Parade in good condition, the security deposit will be refunded to the customers. Every agreement includes self–drive hire insurance for 2 drivers, though drivers must be at least 25 years of age to drive vehicles hired from Classic Parade.

Expanding with a phased approach, Classic Parade will provide updates when servicing starts for locations around Europe. Once up and running, these locations will be able to access 24–hour service and deliveries any day of the week.

Another service that will be available to customers in all of Europe is the "Try Before You Buy" Program, which connects potential buyers with the vehicles they are interested in before they permanently purchase those vehicles. Prior to investing in an expensive vehicle, Classic Parade's customers can drive the same luxury vehicle for any length of time. Flexible hire terms and customized pricing packages make this possible.

Those interested in hiring a supercar from Classic Parade in the UK can reach out to rent@classicparade.co.uk or +44 (0) 333 355 3595. There are no hires available in other locations, but as that changes, updates can be found here. The Classic Parade team is available 24 hours, 7 days a week to answer questions or finalize supercar hire details for customers in the UK.

Supercar Rental Company Classic Parade Launches UK's First Cryptocurrency Payment Service

LONDON, Feb. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — One of the UK's leading supercar hire companies has just launched a cryptocurrency payment system to rent the world's most impressive supercars. Customers can now choose to pay to for selection of over 100 supercars from 28 luxury marques in Bitcoin or Ethereum cryptocurrency as well as in Pound Sterling. One of the cars available at their showrooms in London, Manchester and Edinburgh, is the 2.4m Bugatti Chiron, which costs 200,000 a day to rent, or 220.75 ETH, or 11.696 BTC.

Classic Parade founder and owner Andrew Brown said: “Our clientele are international and want to be able to pay to rent our supercars without the hassle and cost of exchange rates and transfer fees. “Many of our clientele have significant holdings in cryptocurrency and so it makes sense to offer this option for them. The transactions are immediate, and we can also take the deposits in crypto as well, and then it's easy to return the deposit after the rental has expired as well.”

Crypto payments are made to Classic Parade's secure wallet and all necessary steps are taken to ensure the safety of the financial transfers. Once the funds have transferred and the rental agreements are signed the supercar is either collected or delivered to the customers address in the UK.

Andrew Brown added: “We have to go through the usual identity checks needed to hire a vehicle, but these are easy to process, and it becomes much easier with every repeat transaction. “This way we can also provide adequate “know your customer” checks.” One of Classic Parade's most popular cars for summer rentals is the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder which costs 1,100 a day to rent, or 1.21 ETH or 0.064 BTC. Andrew Brown said: “We are expecting a great deal of interest from crypto investors in the next few months to rent out our incredible supercars. Many investors are relatively young and want to show their wealth and so the interest in supercars is very strong for this market.”

"An international icon in terms of power, style, and luxury, famous names like George Harrison, Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra and Sir Elton John all chose the E–Type as their preferred set of wheels," said Tom Humble, co–founder of E.C.D. "Owning this gem today is like owning a piece of history. But at E.C.D. you're getting more than just a British classic, you're getting the masterpiece of your dreams personalized just for you via our meticulous 2,200–hour restoration process. It also features the option of our all–electric drivetrain or our power–packed GM V8 engine lineup."

E.C.D.'s Jaguar E–Type restoration process is a highly customized journey, beginning with the selection of a Series 2 or Series 3 and the choice of either a roadster or coupe "" with the coupe offering a two or four–seater option. For many classic car enthusiasts, the roadster's retractable top is the preferred option, allowing for breezy drives on scenic routes. On the other hand, the coupe's hard top with stunningly engineered curves creates a memorable look and a comfortable driving experience any time of the year. Once the make and body style are finalized, clients decide on sports exhausts, braking systems suspension options, and most importantly, one of three iconic drivetrain options.

For those wanting pure power and performance, the GM LT1 packs a perfect punch while those looking for an eco–friendly twist can opt for a Tesla all–electric motor. Others wanting a purist restoration that stays true to its vintage look and feel can select a historic Jaguar engine with the 4.2L inline in the series II, or the V12 in the series III. On the cosmetic side, clients customize the exterior with eye–catching historic Jaguar colors like Carmine Red and Pearl Grey. For the interior, clients have a wide selection of leather, stitching and carpet colors, dash upgrades and more to create something truly individual and unforgettably stylish. Once the design is finalized, a video is then created with a photorealistic 3D model, teasing the upcoming build.

From there, E.C.D. goes on a global hunt for the perfect base vehicle and brings it to its Rover Dome facility for a ground–up, 18–month–long restoration. With the precision of doctors in the surgery room, E.C.D.'s expert team of master technicians and craftsmen carefully tear down, transform and customize the restored E–Type with subtle enhancements and luxury touchpoints while staying true to the original high–quality craftsmanship that introduced the 1960 Jaguar E–Type. From electronic upgrades like cutting–edge audio and in–dash navigation systems to cosmetic options like seat upholstery stitching and newly finished chromework "" no detail ever goes unnoticed during the Jaguar XK–E restoration process.

The first restored Jaguar E–Type is slated for completion in spring/summer 2023 and will have an electric Tesla drivetrain. With over nine restored E–types already on order, E.C.D. expects to complete 10 to 12 of these refined builds a year.

Mullen Automotive Acquires Controlling Interest in EV Truck Innovator Bollinger Motors, Inc.

With Nearly 50,000 Reservations for the Critically Acclaimed B1 and B2 Consumer Trucks, with Potential Customers and Upfitters Like Con Edison and Wabash, with Medium Duty Trucks Across Classes 3–6; Acquisition Accelerates Bollinger's Delivery of Class 4 EV Trucks to 2023

Bollinger to Leverage Mullen's Solid–State Battery Technology and Expertise

BREA, Calif., Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire — Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) ("Mullen" or the "Company"), an emerging electric vehicle ("EV") manufacturer, announces today its acquisition of a controlling interest in EV truck innovator Bollinger Motors. This is Mullen's first EV acquisition and propels the Company into the medium duty truck classes 3–6, along with the B1 and B2 sport utility trucks. The purchase price is $148.2 million in cash and stock for a 60% controlling interest, which gives Mullen the majority ownership of Bollinger Motors, Inc. and positions Bollinger to capture the electric sport utility and commercial vehicle markets. On Thursday, Sept. 8, at 2 p.m. EDT, Mullen Automotive and Bollinger Motors will host a live YouTube webinar introducing the two companies.

"This acquisition is one of the largest in the EV industry to date and provides Mullen with the unique opportunity to aggressively expand into the high–demand commercial EV space. The strong interest shown by major customers in all the high–volume segments like delivery, telecom, municipal services and utilities is a clear indication of the market's desire for Bollinger's vehicles," said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. "Combining Bollinger's vehicles with our existing class 1 and class 2 EV cargo van programs gives us the chance to dominate the entire class 1–6 commercial light and medium duty truck segments. In addition, Bollinger will be able to leverage Mullen's solid–state battery technology, making their current vehicles even more competitive as our technology launches across the total portfolio of EVs from both Mullen and Bollinger."

Launched in 2015, Bollinger Motors is an American automobile designer and manufacturer of electric sport utility and medium duty vehicle lines. The company also successfully developed proprietary vehicle battery packs, drivetrains, and thermal and vehicle control software units. In 2017, Bollinger built and debuted the critically acclaimed B1 class 3 sport utility vehicle, the first of its kind. The company followed its initial success with the development of the second–generation B1 and B2 vehicles, before pausing in favor of commercial truck development. With years of history in class 3 truck development, intellectual property, patents and expertise, the company's decision made sense to pivot into commercial vehicle development for classes 3–6. As part of the acquisition, the company brings Mullen nearly 50,000 reservations previously taken for the B1 and B2 sport utility vehicles. With Mullen's acquisition and capital injection, both B1 and B2 programs will begin after the start of production for class 3–6 commercial truck programs. A video presentation of Bollinger's history can be found here.

The company brings a significant pipeline of interest from large companies for commercial electric truck classes 3–6 in a wide range of markets such as last mile delivery, refrigeration, utilities and their upfitters. On Sept. 1, 2022, Bollinger revealed for the first time the B4, a class 4 electric commercial truck. The B4 electric chassis cabs will be the first of the company's commercial lineup to hit the ground in upcoming client test programs. The new Bollinger B4 incorporates years of feedback from dozens of major fleets looking to electrify their vehicles. The result is a cab–forward truck, designed from the ground up to offer maximum cargo volume, accommodate unlimited adaptation and prioritize safety. Bollinger will be testing B4 chassis cab trucks this fall with numerous fleet customers, upfitters and charging companies to gather constructive feedback. Further details on Bollinger's B4 announcement can be found here.

"We are proud to design our commercial EVs from the ground up, here in America, offering greater efficiency, lower total cost of ownership and greater cargo volume. Our dream is to build the world's best trucks and SUVs," said Robert Bollinger, founder and CEO of Bollinger Motors. "Mullen shares a similar dream to build the best EV cars and trucks. This partnership will bring us closer to making those visions a reality, as it allows us to ramp up production on our end and get Mullen's EV programs to the market faster."

"We have been looking at this space carefully and raising the capital in advance, allowing us to take advantage of opportunities that arise," added Michery. "We think Bollinger Motors is a perfect example of a smart investment in a known company and brand."

"I am really impressed with what Robert Bollinger has created for the commercial vehicle space and the off–road capable B1 and B2 sport utility vehicles," Michery continued. "Bollinger is a true innovator and generational company, and we believe they have the potential to turn the sector on its head, similar to what the Hummer H1 did over 30 years ago. Bollinger is a transformative acquisition and paradigm shift for the EV industry."

Mullen Automotive and Bollinger Motors will be hosting a live webinar on Thursday, Sept. 8, at 2 p.m. EDT, introducing the two companies. Details on the YouTube event can be found here.
