Anytime, I haven't had the chance to capture the exterior of....
the Silver Birch DB5 (all original, on red leather) owned by LONG-time member Joe who had bought the car 37 years ago ('87) for well under $20K in Cardiff, and subsequently moved to California a couple of years later, DB5 in tow. He drives the car frequently all around L.A., and people always ask him 'how much is it worth!?', he perpetually answers 'I don't know, and I don't wanna know.'

AMOC USA West Christmas Brunch
Hot 'off the press' from earlier today during our yearly Christmas Brunch meetup. Believe it or not, there were some REAL Jaguars on the asphalt .... (tongue, cheek, firmly x) ...
=))
That E-Type has been owned for decades by the Club President . The MC20 I saw for the very first time myself, an older woman named Olga (visible in image #10 wearing pink and red!) rolled into the meeting with it, the car looks hyper-modern and highly imp...

;D
From what I recall, he had paid $12K in late 1987, for the MY 1966-67 DB5 which used to be a demonstrator car, and was therefore being sold as a used car, just over 20 years old at the time.... A deal of a lifetime ........
No doubt amigo =)
By the way, picture number 4 is a shot of the IMMACULATE engine bay of the DB5 ........
Thank you Mo!
You are welcome to attend any of the events when you happen to be spending time in California. The USA West website, that I personally built and make sure is kept up to date all the time, is right here: amocusawest.org Cheers!
I'm curious, what was the average age of the AMOC set?
I've always loved Aston Martin and British cars generally, but there was always a huge age gap at local events that made it hard to mix and relate. I'm 40 now, so not a kid, but I remember the organized car club guys being 60+ Best, Tim
Tim, you're absolutely right!
I am exactly the same age as you are, turning 4-0 on December 10. I joined the Club back in December 2008, when I was a mere 24 years of age. In that first decade it was definitely a challenge to 'integrate' with people who were, on the lower end of the s...
That's awesome, thanks so much
Great news and a welcoming crowd - this is exactly what I had hoped. I don't have an Aston yet, but I'm sort of finding the right one. Price is less important than the character of the car. For a small marque, there's a lot of variety just since the V8 er...
I've truly loved them all rather monomaniacally....
because, despite being an ardent transportation enthusiast in general, I perceive their historical output as easily the most beautiful passenger vehicle designs ever to have been achieved. The mechanical qualities, and electronics reliability have varied ...
Happy holidays and happy birthday, Filip
I hope you got a great standalone birthday party pre-holidays! Thanks for taking the time to respond so thoughtfully to my questions. I'll be looking at a local Vanquish S when I head back to Philly after my own holiday in NY. I'd love to know what kind o...
