Other Aston possibilities are DB4 and DB5 convertibles, but all the photos I can find have reversing lights within each cluster, with 3 dot lights per cluster. However the 1965-66 Short-chassis Volante (transition between DB5 and DB6 - http://www.astonmartins.com/db4_5_6_s/short_chassis_volante.htm ) had split bumper with rev light in middle below number plate, as well as same boot features and combined light covers (sourced from Triumph TR4). -- Last edit: 2012-03-04 19:21:21
