Have you ever been inside a Ferrari dealer, - one that sells new Ferraris? - Or Lamborghinis?
London has at least 2 authorized Ferrari dealers and 1 authorized Lamborghini dealer. You can go there to order a brand new car. You just ring the doorbell and you'll be let in to look at the exhibition models. Perhaps see the color swatches and feel the skin samples in the next room, while enjoying a cup of tea...
Or, you can stand outside and look at the models through the glass pane. Alternatively, you can do a virtual visit. Ferrari and Lamborghini have presentations on Google, where there is a Streetview function to move you inside the narrow business premises of Kensington. Click on the images to make a virtual visit to these car dealerships.
Looking at new cars you can't afford can be a mixed experience. Well, it's nice to see great cars up close, but it's not nice to be reminded that you don't have enough money.
"19,290 kroner per month ," was the sign on a McLaren in the showroom. I was standing outside the premises of AutoXO in Ramstad outside Oslo. It was Sunday, and the shop was closed. I just wanted to take a look. I wasn't alone. There was a stream of people coming in to look at the cars parked outside. From the background chatter, I heard someone who wasn't just stopping by by chance. They seemed to be in buying mode.
It is typical that when a new model appears at a dealer, it disappears with the sales manager on a trip to the cabin instead of being available to potential customers. What do I know? Maybe one of AutoXO's salesmen will bring some cool car to the cabin, for example a Lamborghini Levante? But, on behalf of car enthusiasts in the Oslo area, I really appreciate the beautiful cars that are currently parked close to the Esso station in Ramstad, on the E18 west just after passing Høvik church.
If you don't have the opportunity, you can join me for a viewing here!
