Lightbulb On-line Porsche business for sale

I have been running an on-line Porsche portal for several years although only to the point of covering its (modest) costs. There is a huge opportunity to build the sites and easily generate a six-figure annual income.

OR, as I did, just use the sites to immerse yourself in your Porsche experience (and easily get passes to Porsche events and races so that you can cover them; get copies of new Porsche books so you can add reviews etc).

Details of the opportunity are available here with a PDF version here.

Interested buyers are invited to email an offer (details via the links above).

FYI: I no longer have any interest in Porsches having sold my 911 Turbo S and GT3 RS and replaced than with an Aston Martin Vanquish Volante.

Good luck staying under the radar of Porsche's trademark attorneys with that website name - they are brutal.

I thought you had to post a price with every for-sale ad?

One of more interesting for-sales I have seen in a while, and really hard to value. I notice you are not providing visitor numbers, that would be a very important number for validation.

Best of luck on the sale!

Cheers,

Mike

Porsche have been well aware of my activities for the ten years this has been running and have no interest in any legal issues...

I find that hard to believe.

This site originally had the word 'Porsche' in the name, but was changed after the attorneys came knocking.

The fact that the sites are still fully operational (after then years) tends to support what I have said...

When PurelyPorsche first started I had some discussions with the then General Manager of Porsche UK (Geoff Turral) - he said they would only take action if I used any Porsche-copyright material (which I have never done).

Try searching for 'Porsche' on Google to see how many fans have set up web sites about the marque - many of these use Porsche-copyright material.

My sites are also very complimentary towards Porsche cars - so difficult to allege any loss to Porsche AG.

I now have an email from Porsche confirming that the current web sites are not 'infringing' (their description). I will share that with any interested parties.
