The Aston Martin DBS Is An Irrational Desire
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- “Whenever I see this car, no matter if it’s day or night, no matter from which angle I’m looking at it, I just fall in love,” says Michael von Trzebiatowski, the proud owner of this 1971 Aston Martin DBS.
The TV show The Persuaders is what ignited Michael’s love for the DBS, identifying with the car Roger Moore drove. His brother was drawn to the Ferrari Dino played by Tony Curtis, but when he was able to get one of his own, he got a house instead.
“I bought the Aston Martin, but no house,” says Michael. He really does identify with the car, saying, “It’s a bit portly, good-natured, and robust…Making a great entrance with big fenders on my car-that’s just not my style.”
Understatement is important to Michael, and it’s also OK that not everyone knows about his understated Aston Martin, or even notices it when on the road. Mind you, this isn’t some flash in the pan attraction to this car-it took Michael a decade to find the perfect example for him.
And when it was the right time to fulfill this irrational desire, well…let’s just say that Michael’s brother was kept in the dark for a while about the DBS!

"but my brother, who was handling my finances at the time, could not know about this, as he thought my desire was highly irrational" every motorhead can relate
+Neil Shah amen brother
+Neil Shah He didn't handle the finances very well if such a purchase went unnoticed until a friend spilled the beans.
That last scene is just breathtaking
+Jeihan Lee Indeed, that last shot is just... wow.
+Jeihan Lee and the sound of the engine takes it to the next level!
Breathtakingly LOATHESOME to watch!!!!
That is a car enthusiast that can put all the rich collectors to shame.
that guy was rich some time in the past lol
+retro666future Or not.. He took house loan and bought car with it..
trefod No, I think every Car Fan would like to have the Car collection of Rich people.
That would be the 250 GTO
Screw Collectors
Especially the ones who garage queen cars that were meant to be driven
Der Besitzer des Wagens kommt sehr sympatisch rüber.
Das Auto ist elegant und schön!
That is a man who's happy with his lot in life. He knew what he wanted and went out and got it, no matter what anyone else said. Fair play to him. Hope he has many more years with the car he clearly adores.
What I really love about this channel is that I can see people who really love their cars.(not just loving it as some luxurious goods. but as just the car itself)
It's great to see I'm not the only person who thinks this way. I'm not alone. Hats off to the Petrolicious gang for bringing us another great story. And Kudos to this fine gentleman for living his dream!
+Chris Juarez
hear hear
It's nice when people follow their dreams. Well done.
Except of course, when it's the f*cking WRONG DREAM.
You don't need a house if you have an Aston Martin.
+Lt Col Speirs You can live in an Aston, but you can't drive the house. :)
+Lt Col Speirs You don't need a wife if you got an Aston Martin.
+Lt Col Spears if you have a '71 Aston Martin DBS. I'd take a house over a Vantage V8 anyday
+Chill Snap - Where would I shower and poo?
bongmistt You don't need to poop or shower if you got an Aston Martin.
What a magnificent vehicle.
Its one of the greatest classics in the esteemed realm of supercars.
I can identify. I have a limited edition Vantage. Just a very special feeling owning one of these masterpieces. It's something a Ferrari, Lambo, Maserati just cannot compare with.
Still a better love story than Twilight.
well yeah, no shit
Still Cringeworthy AF.
I just came back to this video. My favorite video yet. Most videos in Petrolicious have owners with a collection of cars. This guy...well...we all assume he doesn't. But that is ok, because he got what he wanted. The one thing that really mattered to him.
I absolutely agree with Herr von Trzebiatowski attitude to show-off cars. It is exactly what I like about Jaguars (and cars like Aston Martin). What a fine owner!
I smiled throughout the video (and still am). Bravo, Michael von Trzebiatowski. Bravo!
Michael is true car guy...that sense of completion in your soul when you take in the presence of the car. Non-car people would never understand.
Always thought this combined the best of both worlds...American style and V8 rumble, with British refinement and material. my fav Aston
Great to see that there are enthusiasts with no big pockets but big hearts. No >20 car garage/temple with a/c and marble floor but just a small workshop and a next-door dude you'd like to drink a beer with and indulge in 'talking petrol'. Thumbs up Petrolicious & more of this, please!
If Michael isn't one of the most humble yet understatedly and humorously honest car owners, well, you got me. His singleminded passion is exceedingly enviable and his wonderfully honest admission of simplicity as to his wants and needs in life are warmly enviable. Passion both excludes and welcomes many of life's joys. I love his story, simple, witty, honest and bare bones until you realize what he gave up to achieve it, not a decision most folks would be willing to make and yet he seems utterly at peace and profoundly content without a shred of doubt or a second thought. If only life were that simple for the majority, then again, his story wouldn't be so memorable if that were the case. Well done Michael, well done...
Well , that´s me . Thankd´s a lot.
Michael
one of the best looking aston's - a true gentelmans-car. just gorgeous!
Der Film zeigt mir meine eigene Passion, meine Liebe zum Fahren eines schönen Autos, besonders eines Aston Martin DBS in seiner Eleganz und Stärke.Wunderschön geführte Kamerafahrten, die die Kraft der Maschine spüren lässt. Sehr symphatischer Besitzer, der optimal zu seinem Auto passt.
"....I bought an Aston Martin. And it's all I ever needed." gloriously stated
My brother had one of these when I was a kid.I'm 50 now,this vid brings back so many happy memories of 'old skool' fast,load motoring.Thanks for this video.
I must say I am envious of this D.B.S. owner. This is THE car for me too. It has everything: majestic design, fantastic suave and masculine looks, super big engine and sound. It is romantic and reminds you of the past. I probably could not afford to own it, even if I could find one, but...... I remember seeing one parked on the sea-front in England more than 30 years ago. The colour was a warm peacock blue - my favourite!
Thanks for a lovely video beautifully done.
I have a one similar to your description would be funny if it's the one your saw all those years ago
nice! that man truly loves that car.
A man who realized a dream
to own a classic car , exceptional Dreams Come True If You Want To .Much Respect for this guy.Made me think for the future to own a Classic One .
This man is not just any car enthusiast!! He is a Legend. 🙏❤️
I like this guy
In a way, it's a blessing to know beyond any doubt what the perfect car for you is...because so many car enthusiasts are continually pining away for yet another car, and are never satisfied! That car is like his kindred spirit. Not to get all mushy, but that's kinda beautiful. :)
3:02. What a sound! I would never get tired of hearing that!
dat engine sound at the end... my heart missed a beat
Yes it did
Let me listen one more time.
The DBS V8 is a beautiful car, and that 5340cc quad cam engine still has one of the best sounding exhaust notes of all time. Although they had to originally fit the DB6 Vantage straight six, when they launched this car, as the V8 wasn't ready, it was still a nice enough car. But when they were finally able to put the new V8 into production, it transformed the DBS from a swift, fairly powerful GT, into a supercar. Still a big comfortable GT, but now able to devour miles effortlessly, with a soundtrack to die for. He's also a man after my own heart. Only a true car guy would by his dream drive, rather than buy a house. Good on him.
This is the true example of loving a car and not caring of what other have to say about you. love what you love it will always love you back.
I salute this man, you Sir, are the real deal...car lover.
Wenn ich dieses Video sehe, freue ich mich so mit ihm. Dieser Wagen weckt wahre Gefühle :-)
Thank you Petrolicious for one after the other truly beautiful videos. Its what dreams are made of.
Wow. What a love story! I can only agree... Greetings from DBS V8 5002/R
Henk de Vries, Amsterdam
What a nice guy, good for you man, enjoy that baby :)
I well remember these cars. In many ways, they were a sort of British Mustang. They soon looked dated. They were expensive to run and rusted too, so it was soon possible to pick them up for pennies. In the late 1970's & '80's, no one wanted them, so many must have been scrapped. Yet, I always rather liked that 'British take on the Mustang' think about them, so it great to see them surviving and being cherished and treasured. This one looks perfect. Good for him I say....!
Tons of respect and appreciation. This is a true car lover. ..and a great car. Nothing but love for this video :)
This guy's got life figured out. Amazing video as always, thanks!
Really a quite beautifully told story. You can tell this man, as with so many others featured on this channel, truly has a passion and love for the car he drives.
I almost wept seeing this. Lucky guy. My dream is a silver DBS. I don't know why but out of all the Astons, this has always been my favourite. Such a beautiful video.
This videos are fabulous...not only beautiful cars, but wonderful people.
Here's why I like this channel: they always bring me something (a) I didn't know I was going to like, (b) something I already love, or (c) actually don't like, but it's being driven by a genuine enthusiast, and it's beautifully filmed, so I wind up being happy that the owner is out there living the dream. More than often, the subject is enjoyed regularly and the owner winds up being someone I would have a pint with. Well done. In this case, I think the DBS is the nicest Camaro every made, and it's hideous compared to the DB models before it, the DBS v12 that followed it, and the DB9 we have love today. But that's me. Either way, congrats Michael.
+Dan Cowan Yea I do LOVE the new F type. It looks like the offspring on an M6 and a Ferrari FF, with a side of rattlesnake PMS. Thanks for the encouragement. We shall see. I promise if I get to own one, I will dutifully flog the farfugnugen out of it.
WOW, I was 4 years old when I watched The Persuaders when it was on TV the first time and I've loved the Dino and DBS ever since, that would have been around 1970
The British gentlemans muscle car. Accept no substitute. Even if you're not a British gentleman. :)
+david j h The side profile reminds me of a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback.
+GreatToastMigration Jensen Interceptor as well
Andre G
Jensen Interceptor is another favourite of mine.
+GreatToastMigration but the aston martin is better :D
+Finn Adam I've driven both. It isn't...
I fell in love with the DBS when George Lazenby's James Bond drove one in OHMSS - granted, many years after the theatrical release! Seems to have been one of the more forgotten Aston's, which is a shame because it is just beautiful!
I'm 57 and live in SC, USA. I bought my first Aston.......a 1969 DBS in 1985 when I was 19 years old. I'm on my 8th Aston now and I'm quite happy with a wonderful wife and 2 boys. We have a modest, brick home but me nor my wife choose to have an extremely large home. We'd both rather have the Aston and our current tidy home. Our boys love every show we attend too. I pick up my 13 year old at least twice a week in the current Aston.. Very blessed and my Aston cost less than all new cars for the most part. 1998 DB7 i6 coupe in stunning condition. :) Peace to all and LOVE this fellas passion......just don't understand why his brother handled his money. I've managed all my affairs since turning 18. :)
Another great video. 3:00 engine revv and 4:43 start-up sounds are magical. Such a sweet engine and car. Love listening to this owner too...
Beautiful video and so good to see a real genuine car enthusiast who knows his stuff and isn't a poser. I too had one of these many years ago when they could be bought cheap. I had one in my late 20's and I certainly was not and am not, rich. I paid £2500 in 1985. Sold for 3x that in 1987. It was a handbuilt car and did actually have many reliability issues due to this. & very heavy to drive. Now the prices have skyrocketed. I don't regret selling mine but if I ever did get rich I would much prefer a classic like this than the new versions.
This is truly one of the best (probably the best) channel on youtube when it comes to cars. What a nice and positive person the owner is. Rare too meet people like this nowadays.
The cars of 60's, 70's and 80's always be the maximum in design, style and beauty, very different to the cars of this new millenium, thanks sirs of the many trademarks and that not be physical in this world for this wonderfull legacy in cars 👍🏻
A beautiful car with a great sounding engine, I can certainly see the appeal of wanting it and nothing more.
The sound the look, whole thing bought me the fuck up, perfection
This guy has got his priorities on point!
Fantastic Aston - one of the best design of that era .
Perfect match made in heaven. A nice guy, dedicated and wise with a cool car that will be lovely for decades to come.
He is the one "car guys" want to buy from when looking for a classic performance car.
Like to meet that guy one day ;)
Endlich wieder was auf Deutsch :-)
Super ding, und so wird es mir wohl auch mal gehen, kein haus aber ne geile KARRE :-)
Got to give a thumbs up just for the sound of that V8, great video, I get your thinking.
This guy is a definition of hard core, great!
DBS v8 is a firm favourite...so elegant but purposeful!
This video had me at the turn of the key, what an amazing sound!
I'm much the same with the new(er) one.
Although my dad told me he drove one as a work's treat and it was to quote him "A bloody good drive"
Take that as you will, but I think all astons (Par cygnet) are incredible cars
Herr von Trzebiatowski, you are my hero
Although a Jensen man myself , I do appreciate the great classic cars such as this
Eine sehr beeindruckende Bekennung zum erwählten Fahrzeug... in Anbetracht zum gewählten Modell.. absolut nachvollziehbar und zu beneiden... einen Aston Martin DBS zu besitzen, zu fahren und zu pflegen... welcher Petrolhead würde DAS nicht wollen???
What a great channel... your videos are so well done and good taste. Congrats ! Truly reflects what car lovers feel and live.
Love these old cars.
Someone who lives near me has one of these probably the same year and in light blue, amazing car in real life.
I love the Persuaders. I was hoping that it would come up, since the German synchronization is amazing and I find it really sad that it didn’t catch on that much anywhere else than in Germany. I love the way the series portrays the JetSet and chivalrous behavior even in modern times. Just the style of it in general really gets me in a way. It’s also the reason why I’m already on the lookout for a DBS even though it’s going to be a long time until I will be able to afford one as far as I know.
I guess for some, a soulmate doesn't have to be another human being. Beautiful in its own way.
As much as I love James Bond with Sean Connery and Daniel Craig both driving the Aston Martin DB5, which is such a Beautiful Machine, I fell in Love with the DBS as an 8 year old child watching the TV show 'The Persuaders' in 1972 starring Tony Curtis and Roger Moore! Tony (as Danny WIlde) drove a Dino Ferrari , but Roger Moore (as Brett Sinclair) drove an Aston Martin DBS! Absolutely Gorgeous Car! dx
Look really good, inside out and sound amazing.
I wish that I'll be like him one day... Aston Martins just have something, I don't know what it is but I love it and I want one.
Sounds like a show I might like to watch.
Like this guys' story! :)
And that last shot is just epic!
The prettiest Aston Martin ever made!
Been in love with this car since Timothy Dalton drove it in "Living Daylights".
Not the same car.
A German guy with a Goodyear cap on. The internal combustion engine is a universal language.
What a beautiful understated car - in the perfect colour ; just stunning .
A loely film about a special man. Nice car too.
Simply gorgeous car!
Astonishing video
10/10
a man with a singular passion. Bravo for achieving a dream
Sensationell !
such a lovely car! such a fine and pleasant guy.
Super sympathisch der Typ. Tolles Auto
I saw one of these in car and driver in the early 80s and have always loved the shape and sound
Lovely little film - posted on my birthday incidentally, sadly no-one gave me one of these cars!
This made me smile. Very much.
That smile at 2:00 says it all. 'Petrolheadedness' is amazing.
This fullas priorities are exactly where they ought to be.
Did you see that profile shot? OMG
I love this car, and I usually always prefer older/vintage cars to new ones, but in my opinion the most recent generation DBS (2007-2012) is a much better and nicer car.
Beautiful car
gorgeous car.
I wouldn’t prioritise it more than a house, but it is a beautiful car and I want one!
Just live in the car. Drive it from town to town solving mysteries.
This smile, that car....
1 of the 10 cars that I wish to drive, preferably to own, but just driving them would be a dream come true.
The other 9:
Aston Martin DB5
Porsche 356
Ford OSI 20M TS
Volvo P1800
Mercedes Benz 300SL
1971 Dodge Charger RT
67 Mustang Fastback
Corvette C1
Ferrari 250 GTO
Hi, I used to own this car when it was a burgundy colour and pretty much in concourse condition. Nice to see it is so well looked after and cherished. I replaced it with a DB6 which I preferred but thoroughly enjoyed its masculinity and kerbside appeal. Best regards, George Crowe
Hi George :) are you shure it used to be yours? If yes, do have any documents ore something colectable for the car?
Pictures or whatever. Sincerly Michael v.T.
That was top quality.
