5/13/20261 hr 27 min
Step into the high-octane world of Nick Sahota, a property mogul and obsessive car collector whose fleet rivals the world's most exclusive garages. From daily-driving a nondescript Volkswagen Golf to owning 70 luxury vehicles, Nick reveals why he often finds more profit in a one-of-a-kind number plate than in the cars themselves. They dive deep into the art of the deal, the weird world of hydraulic-suspension lowriders, and the calculated risks required to maintain a multi-million-pound collection.

Yeah.
Carl Hartley· Host1:12
Just anything with maintenance is, is, it's gotta be worth the money.
Nick Sahota· Guest1:16
Exactly. That- Do you know what I mean? And effort, you know? Cars are always, as much as I love them, they are a headache.
Carl Hartley· Host1:21
Yeah.
Nick Sahota· Guest1:22
Number plates don't have that.
