Ah yes, Diana. I met her once in rather unfortunate circumstances. I'd popped into a rather classy equestrian outfitters in Knightbridge to buy some jodhpurs and had just walked out of the shop when I was almost knocked over by a blonde driving an Audi Convertible who swung onto the pavement. Of course, gentleman that I was in those days, I turned and swore at her! She sweetly smiled at me, the chap next to her scowled at me....probably her police bodyguard and it wasn't until I stormed off across the road that I realised who she was! I still would have sworn but probably in more moderate terms!

I recall seeing two of these parked at Charterhouse School when the cars had only recently been manufactured. They were be far the most memorable cars of their time. Agreed but the estate did look like a Hearse.

I had a book of "Exotic" cars when I was a boy that had a feature on the Lagonda, I loved it then and I love it now. Frankly, I find them amazingly beautiful - though most "experts" in the field completely discount them.
From what I've gathered, the "oh-so-modern in the 80's" digital dashboard is prone to problems, and I understand that the cars were never particularly quick, but they sure were distinctive...
One of my all time favorites...

Funny how things are (thankfully) but that does nothing for me even though I love 70's cars as that's when I was an impressionable, petrol head, Kid! Actually i tell a lie, it does make me stop and stare (and I've seen a couple before on the road) but more for its presence rather than aesthetic pleasure

I don't particularly like the styling but in my view it's probably the most bravely distinctive design that Aston Martin have come up with until very recently.

I'm with you Crowbar I think the Lagonda is just beautiful........ but then I thought the same of the Triumph TR7 until I owned one of them!
