MY DAD AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM ITS ORIGINAL OWNER THROUGH A CONSIGNMENT AT THE LOCAL BENZ DEALER.

THE ORIGINAL OWNER LIVED IN FLA AND ONLY DROVE THE CAR WHEN THEY WERE IN WV.

THE CAR SAT UNDER A CARPORT ON AND OFF FROM 1974-2009

THE ORIGINAL OWNER TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL BENZ DEALER FOR A TUNE UP AND PAINT JOB.

WE PURCHASED THIS CAR THEN......ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO.

WE HAVENT DRIVEN IT MORE THAN 5 TIMES SINCE, WE HAD TO RECENTLY PUT A BATTERY IN IT.

WE DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THESE OLD GERMAN CARS, BUT WHEN WE SAW IT, WE HAD TO HAVE IT

THE CAR COULD USE A TUNE-UP, IT RAN GREAT WHEN WE FIRST GOT IT, BUT IT HAS ACQUIRED A SLIGHT MIS WHEN THE THROTTLE IS FIRST APPLIED.....DUE TO SITTING IN MY GARAGE. A SET OF POINTS AND PLUGS WILL FIX IT RIGHT UP IM SURE.

IT IS SMOOTH AS GLASS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A GREAT DRIVING CAR, ACTUALLY IMPRESSIVE FOR ITS AGE.

BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR THE TIRES, FUEL PUMP, MUFFLER, PLUGS, PLUG WIRES, POINTS WERE REPLACED. ONE HUBCAP HAS BEEN RE-PAINTED.

THE REST OF THE CAR AS FAR AS I KNOW IS 100% ORIGINAL. EVEN THE SOFT TOP! IT LOOKS AMAZING, SUPPOSEDLY WAS NEVER PUT UP BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE SOFT TOP IS CHOCOLATE BROWN. WE HAVE THE HARD TOP AS WELL

THE CENTER OF THE SPEEDO NEEDLE FELL OFF, IT WAS LIKE THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, THE TACH SEEMS INACCURATE, BUT WORKS. THE RADIO IS ORIGINAL BUT ONLY PICKS UP OCCASIONALLY...WHO NEEDS A RADIO IN A CLASSIC CONVERTIBLE?

THERE APPEARS TO BE NO RUST. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT SURFACE RUST IN THE TRUNK AND THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD (LOOK AT PICS) NO HOLES, OR ANYTHING MAJOR. I COULD EASILY PAINT OVER IT AND IT WOULDN'T BE NOTICEABLE, BUT WE WANT TO BE AS STRAIGHTFORWARD AS POSSIBLE. THE DRIVER FLOORBOARD HAS THE SOUND DEADENING MATERIAL IN IT STILL.

THIS CAR IS STUNNING, EVERYONE LOVES IT, WE JUST NO LONGER HAVE ROOM.

Aston wants to build DBX on its new platform, not Mercedes'

Mon, May 18 2015

Aston Martin is proceeding with plans to launch the DBX as its first production crossover. It just can't say at this point what it will be based on. Speaking with Automotive News Europe, Aston's new CEO Andy Palmer indicated that basing the DBX on a Mercedes SUV platform would not be its first choice because they "clearly sit in a very different space to the one we want to go" with the DBX. Instead, the company's first choice would be to build the crossover atop the new platform it's developing for its sports cars. "It just depends how high off the ground it could go," said Palmer. "I don't exclude the possibility of using some [Mercedes] parts, but I would say very much the primary route is our platform." The prospect of building an Aston SUV on Mercedes architecture – namely that of the GL-Class Â– has been on the table for some time now. The Lagonda SUV concept it showcased at the Geneva show in 2009 was based on the GL, and the two automakers have been forging a tightening alliance in the years since. The British automaker's next-generation engine is to be built by Mercedes-AMG, and it is expected to source other components from the German automaker as well. For its part, Mercedes has been taking a sportier approach with its latest crossovers, as demonstrated by the GLE Coupe that debuted before the more conventional version and the Concept GLC Coupe that previewed the GLK's replacement in Shanghai last month. Aston Martin, on the other hand, is building a new sports car platform that will underpin its next generation of luxury GTs, replacing the long-serving VH architecture that has served for decades as the basis for its entire model line. Perhaps the most surprising of ANE's report, though, is that Aston seems to be proceeding with plans to build the DBX apparently without even knowing what platform it will use.
