Wang Bo does not have a deep study of cars, Aston Martin of course he knows that the world's premier luxury car representative, this brand has always been synonymous with chic, meticulous workmanship, excellent performance sports cars, known as the Rolls-Royce of sports cars.
He didn't know the specific information about the car that appeared now, but the beauty contained in it made him extremely fascinated.
A car is like a woman, a good car is like a beauty, you don't need to drive her, you can feel the pleasing beauty at a glance. And the first feeling that this car gave him was a classical beauty.
There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. Laugh at the city, and then laugh at the country!
The body of this car is a little flat, Wang Bo knows that this is the popular shape of sports cars half a century ago, just like the modern popular teardrop shape, when people took the craftsmanship to the extreme, and the most beautiful and dynamic shape that could be created is like this.
The car is not badly preserved, and although the paint is not so new and bright, it is still smooth and not damaged.
The headlights are spotless, the chrome glass protects the halogen lights inside, and the windshield wipers are chrome as well. "Chrome plating was very popular in the fifties and sixties of the last century, and it was at its peak, and all the designer cars used this process to decorate their cars," Singh said. ”
The engine of this car is a front-mounted design, the engine compartment is very long, but the body lines are very smooth, the front, the body and the parking space are all very good, and the smooth car is not like a car half a century ago, but like a modern car.
"The tires are old radial steel wire tires, don't look at the wear and tear of it, this kind of tire is very expensive, and a new tire will cost tens of thousands of dollars. And you look at the wheels, aren't they beautiful? It uses a multi-spoke process......"
Uncle Bing circled around the car and asked, "What about the engine?" A 4.0L L6 engine? What about gearboxes? A chrome-plated old-fashioned five-speed gearbox? ”
"Yes, although they are not original, they are indeed the same accessories as the original, and they can definitely make this car run as fast as a wild horse!" Singh said proudly.
Uncle Bing nodded when he heard this, he said: "Then this car is not bad, its most precious thing is the old heart, the maximum output is 284 horsepower, the maximum torque is 390N-m, the maximum speed can reach 240km/h, and it only takes 8 seconds to accelerate from a standstill to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, can it still be done?" ”
Singh was a little embarrassed and said, "What you said is the theoretical number of the new car, you know, it is already fifty years old after all, and it is not easy to do this." ”
Wang Bo gave Uncle Bing a thumbs up and said, "Man, you know so much. ”
Uncle Bing smiled and said, "What is this?" This knowledge is essential for an Englishman of my age, sir, don't you know the identity of this car? ”
Wang Bo said: "Aston Martin, I know. ”
"No, it's not just Aston Martin, it's the 007! It's a James Bond ride! This is the dream car of a boyhood for an English man of our age! ”
After listening to the introduction, Wang Bo knew why he was a little familiar when he looked at this car before, it turned out that this was the famous car that appeared in the movie "007", but which car in "007" is this? This movie uses a lot of Aston Martin cars.
Uncle Bing said that the engine and gearbox of this car have been replaced, although it is still original, but the price should not be too high.
Wang Bo asked, "How much does this car cost?" ”
Singh scratched his messy hair and said, "One million New Zealand dollars, no less." ”
That's a lot of money for a new Aston Martin sports car in New Zealand.
However, for classic cars, this price is not expensive, the domineering president has subscribed to a lot of magazines, which introduce luxury goods, Wang Bo remembers that he read an issue of introducing classic cars, in which Ferrari, Porsche and Rolls-Royce, often tens of millions of dollars!
He looked at Uncle Bing and asked how the price was with his eyes, Uncle Bing smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, if you ask me how much the Leopard tank is, I may be able to tell me, but if you ask me about this kind of car, I really don't know." ”
Wang Bo called the domineering president and asked him how much an Aston Martin DB5 was in good condition.
The domineering president groaned and said, "Are the engine and gearbox original?" What about the wheel hubs? What age is the car paint? Is the interior a combination of genuine leather and solid wood? Has the dashboard been replaced? Does that manual air conditioner still work......"
A lot of questions erupted like a cannon, Lao Wang was dumbfounded, it turns out that classic cars are so exquisite?
He handed his phone to Singh and asked the two to communicate directly, while he opened the car door and looked inside.
The interior of the car is well preserved, the doors are wrapped in leather, which is very comfortable to touch with your hands, but the seat holsters are not very well protected, and there are strips of things like age spots on them.
Of course, this is actually inevitable, after all, this car has been on the market for half a century, and if it is still preserved as new, it is not normal.
Thinking about it this way, then looking at the interior of the car feels more flavorful, as if those old gentlemen, as time passes, they get older, but the aristocratic temperament is stronger.
After the communication, Singh handed over the mobile phone to Wang Bo, and the domineering president asked, "How much does he cost for this car?" You can bargain, don't look at the Aston Martin brand is very loud, in fact, in the field of classic cars, it is not a small gap with Ferrari. Nowadays, many classic Ferrari cars are in the tens of millions level, and Aston Martin is only in the million level. ”
"Oh, no wonder I don't think it's too expensive, he asked for $1.1 million." Wang Bo said.
"How much?!" The voice of the domineering president was raised all of a sudden.
"1.1 million."
Obviously, he gave this price negotiable, at least the extra 100,000 yuan was for you to bargain. But even if it's 1.1 million, it's too cheap, right? You can definitely buy it at this price, but you have to read all the formalities clearly and beware of problems! ”
Wang Bo asked, "Didn't you just say that this car is only at the level of one million?" ”
"Two million is also a million level, and five million is also a million level. Although the DB5 is a production car, the car has a maximum auction price of $5 million. ”
"The gap is so big?" Wang Bo felt that something was wrong.
"Of course, that car has been featured in the 007 series of movies "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball", and the crew has modified it. Wait, I'll check the price of the DB5 production car for you......"
A minute or two later, the phone called: "Buy it, at the auction held in Monterey last year, a DB5 sold for $1.65 million, and 1 million New Zealand dollars for a car like this is a good deal!" (To be continued.) )
