【中年と中古車☆横浜エヴィータ編】MGBとロータス・エスプリがほしいのだ！＃02

[Let's find a hobby car that is affordable and easy on the middle-aged wallet!] Hey! We are the used car guys A team. Just as a young man becomes middle-aged in the blink of an eye, a shiny new car that was once out of reach becomes a used car before you know it. It was too expensive to buy back then! But maybe it's affordable now? This is a project where two middle-aged men with delusions like this will search for a special car on behalf of our readers and viewers! This may be a sudden question, but do you have any hobbies? Middle-aged man A is in his mid-40s, but he doesn't play golf or surf, and he hasn't been out at night for a long time. He's worried about his retirement! So, he used his quick brain to come up with the idea of ​​getting a classic car and making it his hobby. Some people say, "But it's expensive, isn't it?", but he completely ignores collectible cars such as air-cooled Porsches and Ferraris, whose prices continue to soar. Let's find a hobby car that is affordable and easy on the wallets of us middle-aged people! And so, we came to "Evita" in Asahi Ward, Yokohama City. This is a classic car specialty store that specializes in British cars such as MGBs and old Mercedes. At first glance, it looks more like a repair shop than a store? However, as any middle-aged person with some experience knows, it is more important to have a store like Coconchi, where you can feel safe when your car breaks down, than a used car store that just displays the exterior and sells it. The representative, Mr. Mori (right), is a friendly person and seems like he would be happy to give you advice. Middle-aged A drove an MGB 16 years ago. The MGB is the car version of the saying that it starts with a crucian carp and ends with a crucian carp. The MGB is a vintage car that can be loved by beginners and veterans alike. This is it! His tentacles reach out. No, his appetite stirs. However, the world is in the midst of a vintage car boom. Even the MGB may be out of reach now... How much will it cost? Check out the video to find out! On the other hand, middle-aged B is the hardcore supercar generation. In other words, the dream image of middle-aged people is James Bond, aka 007. Daniel Craig in Tom Ford and Pierce Brosnan in Brioni are not bad, but when it comes to James, it's the sexy Roger Moore in an Angelo Roma brown silk suit. So, whenever a new movie in the series is released, I pay close attention to the Bond girls and Bond cars. The way British gentlemen dress is secondary. This time, while looking away from the MGB, I discovered a Lotus Esprit. In the movie, James becomes a submarine and lands on the beach, and for some reason tosses a fish out of the window. It's been half a century since that scene, which got everyone asking, "Why is there a fish in the car?" Has this car also become a premium price and become out of reach? There it is! A bright red wedge-shaped Esprit designed by Giugiaro waited for middle-aged man B, crouching low. He climbed into the low-riding car with a stomach full of dreams and hopes. He fell over. His sunglasses flew off. Go for it, middle-aged man B! Don't give up, middle-aged man! The left-hand drive and manual shift didn't matter. The straight-four non-turbo (← important) engine in the back roared! Roared! Roared again, by Allen Ginsberg!! Middle-aged man B, who is a steady driver and whose favorite car is a fourth-generation Mercedes-Benz SL (R129), said, "I honestly want one!" The Lotus Esprit had middle-aged man B's sensuality tickled. And the price seemed within reach, I wonder? There were still classic cars that we middle-aged men could somehow afford. But if we got these, we would need a car for our feet. What kind of car would be good for our feet... The worldly desires of the used car guys, Team A, are endless.
