Last time we traced 20 years of what footballers buy - this week we get into when and why. With the summer transfer window in full swing, Rich, Marc, Cliff & Mack explain the frantic two‑week July rush, the lull that follows pre‑season tours, and the “Lambo‑on‑standby” moments that happen the minute a new deal is inked.

Fresh from Goodwood Festival of Speed, the team break down the cars that really matter to Premier Sports clients: Alpine’s retro‑electric R5, Land Rover’s 626 bhp Defender OCTA, Urban’s wide‑track Cullinan, and the jaw‑dropping colours now available straight from Solihull. They debate Mercedes’ new all‑electric CLA, a £107k BMW M2 CS, Porsche’s fully‑electric Cayenne mule, and why Ferrari’s upcoming “F80” hypercar might leave purists craving more noise. Add in a baby‑blue Cullinan build for a Liverpool star, Chinese EV interiors that are better than they look, soaring list prices, and a showroom restock that reads like a Premier League car park, and you’ve got a packed, car‑heavy episode.

Two decades in the making. In the debut episode of Premier Torque, Founder Rich Clark sits down with the team to unpack the unlikely journey from a university grad working retail, to running Chinese TV fan trips that introduced him to elite players, to brokering a Bentley for Jamie Redknapp—and ultimately launching Premier Sports Solutions in 2005.

From early runs on Bentley Continental GTs and Range Rover Sports to today’s Urban‑kitted G‑Wagons, Cullinans and hybrid super‑SUVs, the team charts 20 years of what footballers actually buy, how trends ripple through dressing rooms, and why trust, speed and discretion keep players coming back. They also lift the lid on list price vs market reality, UK EV charging frustrations, McLaren’s next chapter under new leadership, and the regulatory whiplash slowing fresh car launches.

Stick around to the end for how to send in your questions (cars, contracts, football life) and to hear Rich tease future guest player appearances.
