Think financing a supercar is as glamorous as the car itself? Think again. In this episode of Premier Torque, we sit down with Tim Marlow, industry veteran from Magnitude Finance and DSG, to pull back the curtain on how the world of luxury and supercar finance really works.

With nearly 30 years of experience, Tim has seen it all. From the rise of PCP deals and balloon payments, to FCA regulation shifts and even financing rare hypercars like Pagani.

He breaks down the biggest misconceptions around car finance (hint: no, nil deposit doesn’t mean free money), explains the difference between lease purchase, hire purchase and PCP, and shares what happens when footballers forget to pay their £61 utility bills.

We also tackle hot topics like the electric car market crash, the rise of Chinese brands and what the future of supercar financing could look like.

Whether you’re a petrolhead, finance geek or just curious about what really goes on behind the scenes, this conversation will leave you smarter about the numbers behind the machines.

What’s it really like to train with Lionel Messi? How do Premier League footballers pick their cars? And who has the worst driving habits at AFC Bournemouth?

In this episode of Premier Torque, we welcome special guest Marcos Senesi, Argentine international and Bournemouth defender, for an honest and entertaining conversation about life on and off the pitch.

Marcos shares what it felt like stepping onto the training ground alongside Lionel Messi, adjusting from Buenos Aires to Bournemouth, and why comfort and practicality often beat horsepower when it comes to choosing cars as a footballer. From his first Chevrolet in Argentina to cruising in an RS Q8 and G63 in England, Marcos talks us through his car journey — plus a few stories about teammates’ driving skills (or lack of them!).

We also dive into his football mindset: handling nerves, coping with tough results, and his hopes for Bournemouth’s season ahead. It’s a mix of laughs, football insight, and plenty of car chat you won’t want to miss.
