History is silent on how the car ended up in the US, but the modern history of the sports car began in the late 1970s. The Vietnam War veteran, following returning home, got a job at one of the car services, the owner of which asked a new employee to help with the repair of his Aston Martin. In a few weeks, the car was repaired, following which the owner of the service simply presented the 1962 coupe to his employee.
