Thanks Vincent!
I noticed the description by the owner in link no. 2:
| Quote: | | The Aston Martin Lagonda is an '83 Model, and was used as the prototype for the conversion from the original LED instrument binnacle, to the 3 CRT display setup. I still find it tremendously cool when the 3 green televisions light up upon turning the key. Back in the day, this was the coolest way to transport 4 people at 165mph. The 4 cam Aston V8 has 4 twin Webers and makes a glorious sound. Car starts up easily and runs fantastic. |
Could it be (from Roger's register) ?:
LOFL 13358, V/580/3358, Pre-production car with Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) instruments. 1984 Paris Show, CM Salyer (USA)
BUT why no roll up windows in the back ?!? 13358 ought to have that ? |

Rear power windows are standard outfit from 13284 ( +13105/13150/13207/13269/others...???) so I don't think this car is 13358...
Rear bumper is from before 13284 too; no pic of the seats...

| Yes I looked at some of his other posts. Some collection in TN! I'll look through the 1983 build sheets for a clue and see if we can make contact. |

Possible but the build sheets merely state
original development car
Weber auto to 1983 USA spec
Blenheim silver/dark blue
& changed to USA spec by R & D

The interior appears to be dark blue (look below/behind the steering wheel)!
The wheels are "Blenheim silver" ?
So the car could have been repainted white, but not the wheels ?
