In the heart of London’s most prestigious automotive celebration, a new chapter for classic car aficionados begins. Club 612, an exclusive automobile community dedicated to passion, heritage, and the art of driving, has chosen the esteemed London Concours to unveil its official launch and introduce its unique membership experience.
Over the course of three remarkable days, June 3rd to 5th, 2025, Club 612 will take centre stage amidst some of the world’s most desirable classic and collector cars. Proudly sponsoring the coveted ‘Young Timers’ class, the club aligns itself with a diverse range of automotive connoisseurs and their cherished vehicles. Highlighting their presence is a spectacular Jaguar XK120 SE Competition, steeped in racing pedigree. This iconic machine, raced by Dennis Sullivan to a podium finish at Laguna Seca on 9 November 1957, is generously presented by Middleton Private Capital, embodying the club’s dedication to automotive history and excellence.
Founded by Richard Harrison, a distinguished insurance barrister and seasoned classic car collector, alongside Ashley Chalak, the founder of one of London’s premier Ferrari and Maserati specialists, Club 612 emerges with a team of experts ready to elevate the ownership experience. Harrison and Chalak’s combined passion and expertise have shaped a community that transcends traditional car clubs, focusing instead on lifestyle, camaraderie, and seamless vehicle enjoyment.
“At Club 612, we offer more than just membership—we offer a sanctuary for those who cherish the emotion and craftsmanship behind every drive,” explains Richard Harrison. “The London Concours was the obvious stage for our debut, given its world-class reputation and the discerning audience it attracts. Sponsoring the Young Timers class reflects our commitment to embracing a broad spectrum of automotive passions within our club.”
Members of Club 612 can look forward to a suite of exclusive benefits designed to simplify and enrich classic and modern car ownership:
- Premium Storage: Secure, luxury facilities ensure members’ prized vehicles are impeccably maintained and always road-ready.
- Concierge Services: From restoration to repair, the club manages relationships with master craftsmen, guaranteeing the highest standards of care.
- Rally Support: Comprehensive preparation and support for participation in prestigious events such as Goodwood and the Mille Miglia.
At its core, Club 612 is about fostering a vibrant community united by a love for automobiles from yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The private clubhouse will serve as a social hub, surrounded by a curated collection of automobilia, creating a refined environment where members can connect, share stories, and celebrate their passion.
Looking ahead, the Jaguar XK120 SE Competition will return to the racetrack with Middleton Private Capital for the 70th anniversary celebrations at Monterey Car Week in 2027, marking a milestone that echoes the club’s dedication to automotive heritage.
The London Concours itself, set against the immaculate lawns of the Honourable Artillery Company, promises an unforgettable experience with over 130 exquisite cars on display. As part of its launch, Club 612 is generously offering 10 complimentary tickets per day to early applicants, alongside additional tickets at a 20% discount from their allocation.
