Aston Martin's periodic revival of the Lagonda name saw it applied to a stretched, four-door AM V8 in the mid 1970s: the Series 1, a mere handful of which was 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 Series 2 saloon used the same long-wheelbase V8 chassis as its immediate predecessor while breaking new ground in terms of electronic instrumentation and switchgear. Problems with the latter would delay production until April 1978, by which time a less radical design had been adopted. The interior though, was every bit as luxurious as the exterior was futuristic, featuring selected Connolly hides, Wilton carpeting and walnut veneer, all hand-finished by skilled craftsmen in the Aston Martin tradition. Manufacture ceased in 1989 after 645 production cars had been built.
This left-hand drive Lagonda has been owned by the same family for over 25 years. Regularly serviced and presented in good overall cosmetic condition (the digital instrumentation is working), the engine starts and the gears are shifting smoothly. Finished in dark red with cream leather interior (in good condition), it comes with a Lagonda owner's handbook, expired French contrôle technique, French carte grise and a file of invoices for maintenance work.

Aston Martin a relancé le nom Lagonda à plusieurs reprises, en l'appliquant à une version allongée de la berline Aston Martin V8 au milieu des années 1970 : la Series 1, dont une poignée seulement a été construite. Lorsque le concept a refait surface, il a fait sensation au salon de l'automobile de Londres en 1976. Habillée d'une carrosserie angulaire conçue par William Towns, la nouvelle berline Lagonda Series 2 utilisait le même châssis à empattement long que le modèle précédent, tout en introduisant de nouvelles technologies en matière d'instrumentation et d'équipements électroniques. Des problèmes avec ces derniers ont retardé la production jusqu'en avril 1978, date à laquelle un design moins radical a finanlement été adopté. L'intérieur était toutefois tout aussi luxueux que l'extérieur était futuriste, avec la selection de cuirs Connolly, de moquettes Wilton et un placage de noyer, le tout finement travaillé à la main par des artisans chevronnés dans la plus pure tradition d'Aston Martin. La production a cessé en 1989 après la construction de 645 exemplaires.
Cet exemplaire Aston Martin Lagonda à conduite à gauche est entré dans la collection de l'actuel propriétaire il y a plus de 25 ans. Régulièrement entretenu et présenté dans un bel état cosmétique général (l'instrumentation numérique fonctionne), le moteur démarre et les rapports de la boite de vitesse passent en douceur. Peint en rouge foncé avec un intérieur en cuir crème (en bon état), il est livré avec le manuel du propriétaire Lagonda, un contrôle technique français expiré, une carte grise française et un dossier de factures pour les travaux d'entretien.
