Has anyone seen a Lagonda in the wild?

I've only seen one at the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance, which doesn't quite count.

one time, in a galaxy far far away, I saw one on the streets (of Connecticut). It was a Series 4 and it must have been 2 years old

Could it have been this one? This is the one I saw (in Connecticut, too).

It sure could have been, is that a true black or dark green? The one I saw was jet black. I was young but I remember how much that car affected me. Just sinister and gorgeous

Jet black. It's an '89.

certainly could have been then. Was light skinded on the inside too. Growing up in CT I was no stranger to seeing Rolls, Bentley and all the good stuff, but man that car had presence

I used to work a couple minutes from Aston Martin of New England and there would be one I would see driving around the area. its actually a lot more handsome looking in person than in pictures.

I've seen one, but not the Lagonda you're thinking of. I saw an early 50's Lagonda at a concours over the summer. It reminded me more of a pre-war Bentley/Rolls than an Aston. The motor itself was the last one designed and approved by W.O. Bentley himself!

I've seen one. One in the country of their origin.

I actually love how they look in profile. It's just the front that could have been executed better.

I kinda like the 6-headlight look, but then I'm kinda weird.

I do fully agree with you that the profile is stunning.

I have always thought these would make awesome "bad guy" rides. They just look so mean.
