That poor old Lagonda. Needs some attention. It's literally going green.... another thing in common with the Xm. They rot their sills out like nothing else.
Great looking interior. Maybe the dash has fried itself!

My great uncle was a Saab man. He had many 96's. He used to have people just give them to him.
That's a nice one. Love that 70's sludgy green.

I REALLY like that, i used to draw all my "train tanks" and cars with a ruler too when i was a boy, it looks like one of my childhood dream cars. That interior is so Citroen mental its unbelievable

I have long since admired it from a young age. Just love it's madness. Even Citroen didn't fit 8 headlights to their cars. Got close with the SM though... ;)
I even made one from Lego once. Quite an easy car to make from Lego considering it's all angles!

Im another lagonda towns car fan too! The early dash was CRT instruments.. not just touch sensitive!!

A top notch choice there and certain incredibly rare beast..

Theres a nice web site about these out there.. going through S1 right to S4/5 describing the differences..

As stated above there are apparently only eleven examples of the V8 auto Paul and do you have a link for the website? With regards, Matthew T.

Many thanks for the link Paul and all very interesting!
I thought they were all V8 Auto.
There are a similar number of manuals listed on HMAL plus a V12 Russ if I have understood correctly!

I think it does look a bit Cadillac Chris!
