Chapter 360
Wang Bo doesn't have a deep understanding of cars. Of course he knows about Aston Martin, the world's leading representative of luxury cars. rolls royce.
He didn't know the specific information about this car that appeared now, but the beauty contained in it made him extremely fascinated.
A car is like a woman, and a good car is like a beautiful woman. You don't need to drive her, but you can feel the pleasing beauty just by looking at it. And the first impression this car gave him was that it was a classic beauty.
There are beauties in the north, peerless and independent. One smile will captivate the city, and another smile will captivate the country!
The body of this car is a bit flat. Wang Bo knows that this is the popular shape of sports cars half a century ago, just like the popular shape of water droplets in modern times. Adapt the shape of Kinetics, that's what it looks like.
The car is in good condition. Although the paint is not so new and bright, it is still very smooth and there is no damage.
The headlights are spotless, the chrome glass protects the halogen lights inside, and the wipers are chrome too. These are what Singer said. He said: "The chrome plating process was very popular in the 1950s and 1960s, and it reached its peak at that time. All famous brand cars use this process to decorate the car."
The engine of this car adopts the front design, the engine compartment is very long, but the body lines are very smooth, the front, body and parking space are well integrated, and the smoothness is not like a car half a century ago, but like a modern car.
"The tires are old-fashioned radial steel wire tires. Don't look at how worn they are. This kind of tire is very expensive. A new tire costs tens of thousands of dollars. And look at the hub, isn't it beautiful? It uses Multi-spoke workmanship…”
Uncle Bing walked around the car and asked, "Where's the engine? 4.0L L6 engine? Where's the gearbox? An old-fashioned chrome-plated five-speed gearbox?"
"Yes, although they are not original products, they are indeed the same accessories as the original ones, which can definitely make this car run as fast as a wild horse!" Singer said proudly.
Uncle Bing nodded when he heard this, and he said: "Then this car is not bad. Its most precious thing is its old heart. It has a maximum output of 284 horsepower, a maximum torque of 390N-m, and a maximum speed of 240km/h. It only takes 8 seconds to accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour, can it still be done?"
Singer was a little embarrassed, and said, "What you are talking about is the theoretical data of a new car. You know, it is already fifty years old after all. It is not easy to do this."
Wang Bo gave Uncle Bing a thumbs up and said, "Man, you know a lot."
Uncle Bing laughed and said, "What kind of knowledge is this? This knowledge is necessary for an Englishman of my age. Boss, don't you know the identity of this car?"
Wang Bo said: "Aston Martin, I know."
"No, it's not just an Aston Martin, it's 007! It's James Bond's car! It's the boyhood dream car of a British man our age!"
After listening to the introduction, Wang Bo realized why he looked familiar with this car earlier. It turned out that this is the famous car that appeared in the movie "007". However, which "007" car is this? The movie used 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, the price should not be too high.
Wang Bo asked, "How much is this car?"
Singer scratched his messy hair and said, "1.1 million New Zealand dollars, no less."
1.1 million New Zealand dollars, which is not a low price. You can buy a new Aston Martin sports car in New Zealand.
But for classic cars, the price is not too expensive. The domineering president ordered a lot of magazines, which introduced luxury goods. Wang Bo remembered that he had read an issue that introduced classic cars, including Ferrari, Porsche and Rolls-Royce. Si, tens of millions of dollars at every turn!
He looked at Uncle Bing and asked what the price was like with his eyes. Uncle Bing smiled wryly and said, "Boss, if you ask me how much the Leopard tank costs, I might be able to tell you. 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 a good-looking Aston-Martin DB5 cost.
The domineering president pondered, and said, "Are the engine and gearbox original? What about the wheels? What is the age of the paint? Is the interior a combination of genuine leather and solid wood? Has the instrument panel been replaced? The manual air conditioner is still there. Does it work……"
A lot of questions spewed out like a cannonball, Lao Wang was dumbfounded, so there are so many exquisite classic cars?
He handed the phone to Singer, allowing the two to communicate directly, while he opened the car door and looked inside.
The interior of the car is in good condition. The doors are fully leather-wrapped and feel comfortable to the touch. However, the seat leather covers are not well protected, and there are strips of age spots on them.
Of course, this is actually unavoidable. After all, this car has been in the market for half a century. If it is still preserved like a new one, it is not normal.
Thinking about it this way, looking at the interior of the car will make it even more tasteful, like those old gentlemen, as time goes by, they get older, but their aristocratic temperament is more intense.
After the communication, Singer handed the mobile phone to Wang Bo, and the domineering president asked, "How much does he want for this car? You can bargain. Although the Aston Martin brand is very loud, in fact, in the field of classic cars, it There is a big gap with Ferrari. Many of Ferrari’s classic cars are now at the level of tens of millions, while Aston Martin is only at the level of millions.”
"Oh, no wonder I don't think it's too expensive. What he wants is 1.1 million New Zealand dollars." Wang Bo said.
"How much?!" The domineering president's voice suddenly rose.
"1.1 million."
"Obviously, there is room for negotiation when he gives this price. At least the extra 100,000 is for you to bargain. But even if it is 1.1 million, is it too cheap? You can definitely buy it at this price, but you You must see all the procedures clearly, be careful if there is a problem!"
Wang Bo asked: "Didn't you just say that this car is only a million level?"
"Two million is also a million level, and five million is also a million level. Although DB5 is a mass-produced car, the highest auction price of this car is 5 million US dollars."
"The gap is so big?" Wang Bo felt that something was wrong.
"Of course, that car has appeared in the 007 series of movies "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball", and the crew has modified it. Wait, I'll check the price of the DB5 mass-produced car for you..."
A minute or two later, the call came back: "Go ahead, buy it. At the auction held in Monterey last year, the price of a DB5 was 1.65 million US dollars. Buying a car like this for 1 million New Zealand dollars is very cost-effective!"
