I have just spent the last 2 days with a party from Portugal who are very interested in opening our first international branch. Their plan is to serve the affluent Lisbon/Cascais market as well as keep some of the cars in Faro for the wealthy Brits staying at the luxury hotspots like Quinta do Lago; obviously the e25 brand is well established amongst the latter crowd.
It would be totally cool if they also offered boats.
But the best bit was they thought we should change our name to CR25 in order to have wider appeal in the portuguese market - something to do with a famous footballer apparently.
Interesting facts that I learnt about Portugal:
Nando's is not Portuguese - it was invented in South Africa (by a portuguese guy) - the portuguese do not eat hot food (unless they are going out for a curry!)
Afternoon tea was introduced to the UK by a portuguese queen who was apparently sent over here to marry a king. He did not like her and sent her home but obviously hung on to the tea concept.
Adeus

Select Resorts, a villa rental specialist, rent luxury villas in Quinta do Lago. Some clients, including many premiership footballers, can spend in excess of £10K per week on a Quinta do Lago Villa so they may also be willing to pay to get a great motor as well.
