Does anyone know anywhere that hires this model out ideally near Donny Leeds Lincoln area?

I'd like ideally to have one for the day to fully see if I get on with it and like it etc, I have two kids and I'd like to take them out with me and been pretty big I want to have more of an experience than just a quick test drive from a garage.

I'd like it to be the model I want because if I hire a newer one that's going to change my plans and having just bought the wife a Range Rover she has taken some of my budget.

Any ideas?
 
I'd pop into my local OPC and tell them what you are looking for :dont know:

If they want a sale then they should let you have a car for a few hours surely :?:

Yeah I'd thought that been seen as this version is getting old now not many dealers would have one?

Trying to get an extended test drive from a car sales pitch is hard and privatea well you've no chance.

I agree :yes:

But just be honest with them (dealer) and you never know

You might be surprised. My OPC recently contacted me and asked if I would like to sell my 997.1, as they were experiencing high demand from potential customers (mine is still under warranty).

That said, finding one local to you could be a challenge! The other option is to join a classic car club or hire through a high end club similar to below;

That car clubs looks ok.

I have considered it an option over buying one as it would be rarely used as I work a lot. That way I could hire a different one a month. Maybe not the Bugatti at £16500 tho!!
