Secondhand Porsches 'sell to people with humble beginnings'

A used-car dealer in Stoke-on-Trent says his clientele for high-end brands often shares a similar backstory. James Walker, 35, manages a dealership that sells vehicles that can cost up to £300,000, trading models such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and Rolls-Royce. He says his customers aren’t typically celebrities, adding that he mostly deals with business owners. Walker’s pitch emphasizes that many clients come from “humble beginnings,” then build success through hard work. He also notes that the business is rooted locally, describing it as “almost like a bit of community,” with many of the most successful buyers based around Stoke-on-Trent.
