London is full of these typed of expensive cars, for examples, a
mercedes mclarren and lots of bugatti's and paganni zonda and
lamborghini's !!
I want to know what do these people work in London? How they learn to
drive such kind of cars?


There's a rather nice 1960s red Mercedes sports car parked down the road
rom where I live. I've no idea who owns it, but if I ever felt the urgent
need to spend my way out of a mid-life crisis...

190 SL perchance? Gorgeous aren't they?

No - it's the later, more angular, 230SL. One reason that it caught my eye
is that its 'D' registration dates it to 1966, and it must have looked very
modern at that time. But I agree - the 190SL looks particularly gorgeous.

The reasons for the growth in exotic car rentals are also rooted in the fact there are so many exotic car models from which to choose. Before Henry Ford's development of the assembly line, that made it possible to assemble simple designs efficiently and quickly, all cars were hand-built in small shops, and only the wealthy could afford them. As robotics, computer-aided design, and just-in-time manufacturing techniques now make it possible to build custom models or even unique cars on an assembly line, exotic cars can be built competitively, with high-quality components and skilled labor devoted to hand finishing.
