1964年阿斯顿·马丁DB5项目车

在摩托车中，“basket case”指的是一辆自行车，它的所有部件都在那里，但却是集装箱里的零件集合。这辆1964年的阿斯顿·马丁DB5正是这样一个项目，为下一个业主方便地预拆卸和准备修复。这辆车最初由阿斯顿的销售部门保留，后来卖给了苏格兰的第一位车主。在1976年搬到德国之前，它又被另一位苏格兰主人所拥有。那位车主把车送去做全面修复。然后公司还没完工就倒闭了。埃宾格先生把车拆了回来，放进了仓库，就像今天的样子。这DB5都在那里，尽管在精心标记的容器，给下一个主人的工作。

In motorcycles, a "basket case" refers to a bike that's all there, but comes as a collection of parts in containers. This 1964 Aston Martin DB5 is exactly that, a project for the next owner conveniently pre-disassembled and ready for restoration. The car was originally retained by Aston's sales department before being sold to its first owner in Scotland. It then passed to another Scottish owner before moving to Germany in 1976. That owner sent the car off for a full restoration — and then the company went under before it could be finished. Mr. Ebinger got the car back in pieces and put it in storage, exactly how it appears today. This DB5 is all there, albeit in meticulously labeled containers, giving the next owner something to work on.
