New Porsche Centre...

An evening event on Friday 25th October saw the Opening of the new Porsche Centre Jersey at Jacksons, St. Peter.

On arrival the guests entered the brand new showroom along a red carpet flanked by a dazzling array of Porsche 911 models ranging from a very rare1972 Carrera 2.7 RS to a modern day GT3 RS 4.0 in celebration of both the opening of the new Porsche Centre and of course the unique milestone of the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911 model itself. A number of these beautiful cars having been kindly loaned for the occasion by Jacksons customers.

Mr Peter Mahon from Porsche Cars Great Britain was in attendance to officially open the Porsche Centre and welcome in excess of 100 invited guests. Guests were also treated to  a tremendous drinks reception and canapés by Shaun Rankin and his team from Ormer.

The interior showroom design and furniture within the Jacksons Porsche Centre is the very first that Porsche has launched in Great Britain and eventually is to be rolled out world wide. Being the first example of this new corporate architecture anywhere in the world is a great honour for Jacksons CI Ltd.

To officially mark the occasion, General Manager Charles Tennant, was presented with a superb signed and mounted carbon ceramic 911 brake disc  by Mr Mahon on behalf of Porsche Cars Great Britain Ltd

An extremely enjoyable evening was had by all present, another example of the unique Porsche experience at the new Jacksons Porsche Centre, Jersey.

BMW go electric with the new i3

JERSEY PREVIEW DAYS - 19-21 SEPTEMBER

The much anticipated BMW i3 represents an exciting and innovative proposition for the fleet marketplace. With fuel prices continuing to rise and tighter emission targets being set by the Government, running a fleet in today’s market is more challenging than ever.

The BMW i3 meets the requirement for an ultra-low emission vehicle to sit alongside traditional combustion engines on company car fleets. Not only will this have a positive impact on the environment, but it will also financially benefit both companies and company car drivers.

Engineered from the ground up, the new BMW i3 is built using LifeDrive, a vehicle architecture custom-built for electric cars. LifeDrive is created from two separate units; the Life module, which is the passenger cell made of carbon fibre; and the Drive module, comprising the suspension, drive components and high-voltage battery.
