The Bentley Mark IV, the most historical Bond vehicle, is also the best.
BMW Z8

If you don't know anyone working in the industry, ask your friends and relatives. They may be happy to recommend someone.
Is it worth learning to be a mechanic?
The answer to this question depends on what you want from life if you are looking for money, then yes, but if you're looking for meaning and purpose, then no.
