Life's treasures revealed...

The Derby Bentley Trophy 29th March 2008

While Europe's top golfers competed just down the road, at Marbella Golf the cars were the stars, as Cache+ brought together golfers and vintage & classic car enthusiasts to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first Bentley produced in Derby by Rolls Royce (after taking over WO Bentley's famous marque).

This marks a new chapter for Marbella Golf, which, has recently seen strong growth under the management of Christina Cortese and the recent engagement of Craig Cooke, the highly respected South African course manager. This club is changing gear... The Derby Bentley Trophy filled the golf course with players, spectators, advertisers and cars. It was unanimously agreed that this highly original tournament, at which vintage and classic cars are displayed in the safety of the back tees, should become an annual event. Other events, which will draw more than just golfers to the club, are being planned.

For Cache+, with teams representing clients from several different European countries, the event was another cog in its internationalisation process: from May we will be distributing to selected upmarket locations in the UK, Continental Europe and Dubai, heralding a doubling of circulation within months.
