Remove the question mark. That is your answer.

Large boxy sedan with a lot of ‘80s futurism in the design, like a CRT display that only works on a day that doesn’t end in Y.

It’s got crazy complicated 80s electronics. Which are very hard to repair.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Designed by William Towns, October 1976 saw Aston Martin reveal a striking new model, a new 4 door Lagonda with innovative solid state digital instrumentation, a futuristic concept at the time. Lagonda created a wave of publicity for the company and the order book filled rapidly, particularly from the Middle East market.

With initial production levels at one a week it wasn’t until 1979 that the first car was delivered. In 1982 the Lagonda was finally cleared for sale in the USA. In 1984, a Long Wheelbase Tickford Limousine version was announced with a TV in the front and rear.

Aston built 645 of them between 1974-1990 in four different series. The original series 1 cars are beautiful, really just a four door V8, but the series 2 through 4 cars carried the wedge shaped styling like the one you saw. Based on the wheels and third brake I think it’s a 86-87 series 3 model. They were powered by Aston’s 5.3 V8 coupled with a Chrysler Torqueflite 3 spd. auto. That’s really all I know.

Can’t you just... replace it all? LS swap an Aston Martin?

Very common. Rolls/Bentley used them for years.

EL_ULY > CRider 07/23/2015 at 19:07

it’s the EVERYTHING ELSE that is the real issue. A/C system, trim, suspension components, everything is “technically” available with Aston but they literally have to make them one at a time

Is it really worth restoring a Lagonda? They can’t be good cars and they’re ugly as hell.

The ones we have are not incredibly bad like others that have came by, but waiting on parts is the main problen

All that hassle and at the end of the wait, you get to look forward to driving your pristine Aston Martin.... Lagonda.

From a recent review:

“Tales of its supposedly horrific unreliability read like an H.P. Lovecraft novel, owners and mechanics driven mad by ancient and arcane blood-secrets.”
