Merit Partners AUTOMOTIVE MASTERPIECES, PERSONALIZED SERVICE

Imagine this moment: you’re sitting behind the wheel of a Porsche or Ferrari, hands gripping the leather steering wheel, and the engine purring beneath you. It’s not just any car — it’s a masterpiece of engineering, a symbol of achievement, a vehicle that stirs something deep within. But the thrill of owning one of these cars is only part of the journey. At Merit Partners, this experience begins long before you turn the key. Founded by Burt Strange and Jonathan Hull, Merit Partners was born out of a passion for Porsche and Ferrari but with a vision that goes far beyond the cars themselves. “We don’t just sell cars; we curate collections and foster relationships,” Hull explains. For those who appreciate rarity, craftsmanship, and legacy, Merit Partners offers a truly personalized experience designed to fulfill not only the desire to own a masterpiece but to immerse yourself in the process.

From the very first conversation, the team at Merit Partners takes a tailored, concierge-level approach. “We start by understanding the client’s goals — whether they’re looking to commemorate a milestone, expand their collection, or experience something truly unique,” Hull says. It’s this advisory approach that sets Merit Partners apart. They don’t rush into selling what’s on the floor; instead, they guide each client through a journey of discovery, often sourcing rare, limited-edition cars from across the globe. The vehicles themselves are rare gems handpicked from private collectors and garages from around the world. Hull describes it as a hunt, where each car is treated as an investment — an asset whose value goes beyond performance. “These cars are part of history,” he says. “Owning one is about more than the thrill of driving — it’s about the legacy and the craftsmanship behind it.”
