The World’s Richest Car Dealer on Going From Zero to Multi-Millionaire | Tom Hartley

[@theAlexanderMass]

I swear it's such an amazing pleasure to listen to old school businessmen speak. The gentlemanship and inclination towards doning thing right and building relationships instead of going for the quick money is something that never ceases to amaze me.

[@ChrisPatrick-q6k]

Seems like a chilled out genuine guy.

[@trevorclarke4336]

When Tom Hartley said he is not a salesman, I think what he meant was, he is not a BS, false flattery, sell you something you don't want or need person. He answers your questions with plain facts and then you make your decision from there. No hard sell.

[@denzel1832]

You don’t need to “sell” premium cars with salesman talk. The costumers come in already knowing what they want to buy unlike cheaper cars where the costumer comes in the business without knowing what and how much its costs

[@GT-43]

He's a salesmen, you just fell for his bs salesmen talk.

[@kevinhoughton9134]

Tom is the ultimate business man, I love his old style ethos especially not to judge a book by it's cover. I learned that many years ago, and his outlook on not being a sales person is spot on, if someone doesn't like your product whatever you say isn't gonna buy it! Don't push, ask questions and relax.

[@adrianmay2970]

The Hartley is a legendary family. Straight and too the point.

Love this interview “ I’m a man that can’t read and can barely write, great maths but, I’m there teaching kids from one of the most prestigious private schools in Europe “ ❤👏👏👏

[@abasimustafa]

All that knowledge and years of experience. He is still a down to earth person and has no prejudice or a fraction of arrogance on his face. Well done 👏👏

[@MayErskine-ts1rk]

I loved this interview, Tom seems so humble and honest, full of self confidence. As he knows his business in and out, he talked with extreme cool and calm! Given out loads of information for us to learn. He is not a salesman, the products sell themselves, awesome, awesome, awesome.

Rob Moore you should be on TV you get better guests than most TV shows and ask the questions that no one dare ask. I have admired your no holds barred style and how you make an interview feel like a couple of mates having a chat in the pub

[@jayemiller1638]

For the first time, shared this in a US based fund manager group that includes members that host or participate in supercar events, in the spirit of group crossover & international connections.

[@michaelodowd4347]

There are rare people who give generously so much, Usually in few words, wisdom and they ask for absolutely nothing in return, those people give you that gut feeling everything is going to be ok, Tom Hartley is one of those rare people. Best thing about the past is it’s always over & we don’t have to wait for life to stop being hard to begin being happy. Moving on and doing well. 🙏 Excuse me please editing in this piece I hope some of you will enjoy. Tom reminded me of a man many years ago teaching me electronics on vehicles. Jim was one of Leyland electrical geniuses. One morning during morning tea break I asked Jim, “do yo have a degree in electrical science” Jim looked at me with a sort of surprised, almost confused expression and calmly answered “I certainly do not, thanks be to God”. And now I understand. Old school can never or will never be beaten.

[@annienicholson3953]

Love his straight speaking.

He’s got one of those voices right? ☺️

[@del732007]

That's a coincidence. I was at a car event earlier, and it wasn't a hyped event at all but one car stood out. A 1961 Ferrari which through some research was one sold by Tom Hartley, and is worth well over €10,000,000.

I loved what he said I’m not a salesman working in a gym including my self and many other PT’s sales pitch and sealing a deal is hard mainly because of self belief.

I really agree with him about taking your children with you when you visit places. That has always been my philosophy as well My son has come with my on some fantastic holidays and he has learnt a lot about the world in doing so at a young age.

[@GarryBryant1]

@RobMoore The quote that this made me think of was another giant in the car industry, Henry Ford, he said 'Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.'

[@pa5169]

[@chiganuggoo9929]

What's all this 'World's Richest Car Dealer' malarkey Rob?..... Hartley is no where near that. I live and work in Dubai, there are dealers here with x10 the sales of Hartley's little concern...& then some. Hyper/Supercars you'll never see anywhere else being bought and sold daily in their dozens. I like Carl, Tom I can give or take, but giving them the 'World's Richest' title on several of your videos is just ridiculous and just shows a lack of basic research - and maths.

[@Molloy1951]

Well pointed out, brother.

[@chasedwar2]

It’s likely click bait title which I dislike. But you may be jumping to conclusions and where is your own research. This guy has been trading for 50 years, UK has 20x the population of Dubai.

[@chiganuggoo9929]

@@chasedwar2 Not sure you're clued up on the 'state' of the Middle East, if you've even visited any one of the countries there. Dubai dealers don't just sell to Dubai haha. Here in Dubai the dealers serve customers from all over the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar just to mention a few... so it means nothing that the 'UK has 20x the population of Dubai'. I've seen Hartley's stock for years, I monitor prices from many dealers, being in the market regularly - and indeed just keeping tabs on the values of my own collection. Their stock changes very little week by week, I'm sure a few sales are made 'under the counter' that never reach their stock list, as with most dealers, either way there is no way they can match the sheer volume being sold in Dubai - dealers here sell 15, 20, 30 cars a day - the market is crazy 3,4,500,00 dollar cars. Urus's are like Ubers here. Common as muck.

[@Damindeater]

Golden nuggets from Tom that " Experience is far better than Research and Training( R&T) as R&T only gives an idea"👏 . Also he said that some people who make money fast are not Dreamers in the long run, he surely knows from his 50 yrs of experience😎. And the 3.9 M Bugatti Car Sale, essence of the story " Never judge a Book by its Cover" & take every enquiry seriously🎯; that's what is Old School. Thanks again Rob for this valuable content.

I come from a council estate, working class background, never earned a great salary so could only afford to buy second hand normal cars. I can't stand car salesmen, not one of them has sold me a car either, I've done my own research beforehand and made up my own mind. Most don't even know the answer to my questions anyhow, ask about valve adjustment for example, they haven't a clue.

[@jameswillard1]

I haven’t watched this interview yet but will, however, I have seen him interviewed before and he has said that he doesn’t have a passion for cars themselves and basically just looks at them as dollar signs, which is probably better for business, but I prefer people who have a strong passion for what they are doing beyond just making money. A perfect example of this would be his oldest son, who is the opposite and extremely passionate about the automobiles he stocks…..perhaps this differing business mentality is why he left the family business and went off on his own. Also, on a side note…..I’m fairly certain he is not the wealthiest car dealership owner in the world as the title states. You have guys like Roger Penske and such that own dozens and dozens of car dealerships all over the world. Either way, I’m looking forward to hearing what Tom has to say

[@GeorgeSmith1066]

Like a lot of multi-millionaires I have encountered (both online and in person) Mr Hartley seems curiously joyless and somewhat humourless. It does seem to confirm to me that vast amounts of money do not bring happiness. By the way, this is just an observation based on my experience, not a criticism.

Why doesn’t he tell the truth? Got his son on tv, was on loads of kids tv shows at the time, saying he was the youngest car salesman and drove some of the cars. Has lived off the back of it ever since. That is how people got to know his name. Before that he was just like all the others in the second hand business of selling cars. An he used the fact he got his son on tv to make money by selling cars. He is just another car’s salesman, that buys and sells cars. The only difference is mugs go to him to buy second hand cars that have been over priced. He states got £100m in stock? The cars are worth nothing if no one buys them at the over price that he states.
