There's a repair shop right around the corner from me where these two poor bastards have been sitting for at least 10 years. Unsurprisingly, they haven't moved. Obviously, the dashboards look taken apart. I'm not sure if the idea is to take one to make two, or if they're just to attract attention from weirdos like me. The guys at the shop aren't too friendly, but they let me take pictures from outside the fence. I may try and get a more detailed story out of them at some point. Someone at one time had big dreams about owning 1 or 2 Lagondas. I wonder if they've given up.

Awesome. That does look like the kind of shop where you'd bring a Lagonda. I'll pass along your info to these guys. ;-)

Do both of them have the same dashboard? S2/S3 differ quite a lot, I think the brown one is an S3, the S2 has a more science-fiction like dash. Talking about money-pits...

Which one is brown? The black one is the later car, right?
Yeah, you're right. They do have different dashes. Maybe they were taking one and putting it in the other?

The black one appears to me a bit brown. Could be me hallucinating due to all inhaled dust last couple of days. Could be your photography skills ;-)
Oppo-Out for me it is!

Maybe we should seek publicity about this one. Come to think of it: maybe not. It was White&Golden right?

If I remember correctly, the development cost for the electrics on the car came to four times as much as the development budget for the entire car.

It was blue and black, weirdo.
