Do you have a car? Why? / Why not? How long have you had it? Did you buy it privately, from a car dealer or at a car auction? Cars James Bond’s 1964 Aston Martin DB5 – the car from Goldfinger and Thunderball – went under the hammer in London yesterday. The man in charge of the auction was auctioneer Max Girardo. At £ 2.6m (€ 3m), the Aston Martin was a lot more expensive than normal cars, but for Mr Girardo, it was a routine job. Mr Girardo has sold some of the most Expensive cars in the world, including a Ferrari Testarossa for $ 12.4m(€ 8.8m) and a Ferrari Spyder for $ 10.9m (€ 7.8m). Mr Girardo is only 33, but he has been an auctioneer for a long time – he sold his first car at auction when he was only 20. He also has international experience and language skills – he has lived in seven countries and speaks Four languages. Cars aren’t only his job, they’re his hobby, too. At the weekend, he enjoys going out in his 1970 Porsche 911. At his second home in Geneva, he has an old VW Beetle and a Vespa scooter. And when he has time, he goes to car rallies. But which car does he drive to work in London? None of them. He goes by bike.
