The inimitable AM Lagonda, worthy of Back to the Future!~

The inimitable AM Lagonda, worthy of Back to the Future!~

• In 1976, the first prototype was unveiled, intended to restore the Lagonda brand's prestige, now that it was part of Aston Martin. Lagonda's true story began with the Series 2, so named after only seven examples of the Series 1 had been produced. Beyond its incredible design, the car's modernity lay in its onboard technology, with electronic controls and digital instrumentation. Its structure was derived from the AM V8, but with a completely different body. Luxury was an integral part of the car's DNA, with its Connolly leather interior and burr walnut trim.~

• Developing and refining the car took two years. Lagondas were built entirely by hand, requiring nearly 2,200 hours of manual labor. The V8 was paired with a three-speed Chrysler automatic transmission. Despite weighing close to two tonnes, the car's 280 hp enabled it to reach 225 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in eight seconds.~

• The Lagonda underwent two major updates. First, in 1985, the Series 3 was introduced, with fuel injection replacing the Weber carburetors. Then, in 1987, the Series 4 appeared, featuring a revised design that replaced the pop-up headlights with three headlamps on each side of the grille. Production ended in 1990, after 645 cars had been built.~

• The car presented here dates from June 1, 1984, making it a Series 2, equipped with an LED dashboard and Pepperpot-style wheels. It was delivered by Universal Motors in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as evidenced by the inscription on the driver's door sill. It has a special-order black vinyl roof surrounding the glass roof above the rear seats.~

• This prestigious saloon is rare. Unused since it was purchased in 2014, it will need a thorough recommissioning before you can travel in Pullman-class comfort, to the amazement of everyone you meet. ~
