Thank you, ladies!
Some international studies show that up to 85% of all vehicle sales decisions are influenced by women and that ladies buy up to 45% of all vehicles, and I am sure that South Africa is following suit fast.
Sandown has recognised the importance of our female customers for a number of years and has started a tradition of an annual Ladies’ Day to thank our lady customers for their ongoing support. By all accounts, this year’s event was again a huge success filled with hunky eye-candy in the form of Ryk Neethling and Corné Krige, the finest eats and treats, and the world’s best cars. Read all about this event and other developments in the world of our brands in this issue.
Best wishes until next time.

Ladies, start your engines…
