THE ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA

Aston Martin's periodic revival of the Lagonda name saw it applied to a stretched, four-door AM V8 in the mid-1970s, a mere handful of which were constructed. When the concept re-emerged, it was the sensation of the 1976 London Motor Show. Clothed in striking 'razor edge' bodywork by William Towns, the new Lagonda saloon used the same long-wheelbase V8 chassis as its immediate predecessor, while breaking new ground in terms of electronic instrumentation and switchgear. Production got into its stride towards the end of 1978, with one car per week being completed at the Newport Pagnell factory. Even today, almost 30 years after its sensational debut, there are few cars that can match the visual presence of the Aston Martin Lagonda.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

Finished in sinister black finish over blue-grey hides with dark grey piping, this executive shuttle oozes '80s style. Originally sold outside the United States, it was later imported and homologated by Walden Group. The car found its way from the Northeast into the collection in 1999. Largely a stock, unmolested example, the only major derivation from the factory has been the replacement of the original wheels with a set of faux knock-off wire wheels.

Complete with its original owner's handbook and costing an inflation adjusted $270,000 when new, this Series 2 is primed to head to its next home. Wedge cars of this era have new-found popularity among the enthusiast set primed to show them at events like Radwood. Paired with a boxy, double breasted pin-stripe suit, this car is perfect for heading to a local show or hostile corporate takeover.
