What a project. I really admire people who can do this sort of work so well. I wouldnt know where to start.

Well restored Lagonda to her own glory. The design is pure elegance as every Aston should be. The dashboard and control panel were futuristic back then, and still are. Glad to see you keeping the classic and sharing the experience.

I agree, this car is absolutely stunning

Even the way the bonnet hinges is just plain awesome.

Fixed rear windows was that a standard feature of all ‘gondas?

Thanks for the video, I loved it, you have done a great job and worth every penny you spent on that thing. well done, I’m sure it brings you immense pleasure

Lovely definition for the most beautiful saloon ever made IMHO.

Absolutely stunning. !!!!

I’m Glad you picked this Color, Very Elegant Combination, and I like the quality of the work. The wheels are the BBS wheels that came on the mid 1980′s Aston-Martins, I had the same set on my 1984 Vantage.

The tires seem too wide – I think those are not the factory tires. Also, (as he said) the color is not a Lagonda color. The color suit is part of the design, not a good idea to change it.

I’m in love with the Lagonda! Its shape was described “cocaine-thin” by a journalist… Well, very masculine indeed.

Let me get this straight, his name is Peter Wise and he has an Aston Martin Loganda??? The
mind boggles!

I have always wanted one since I was a kid. Thanks for the great tour! I can’t imagine what you have into it, however, I bet it is worth it.

I am not an Aston fan but you have done so much to this car. Keep it forever.

evo5dave April 8, 2010 at 3:28 am

Shame these cars had so many problems. Amazing, wacky design!

endrizo April 8, 2010 at 4:26 am

congratulations!! this may be the most daring design ever a beautiful car.

McElhinney65 April 8, 2010 at 4:55 am

The occasional idiot buys a Lagonda…I love Astons but the Lagonda was an aesthetic monstrosity.

akmbroskio April 8, 2010 at 5:05 am

I love this car

SepticProductions April 8, 2010 at 5:38 am

I would kill for that car.

riseandshine75 April 8, 2010 at 5:55 am

Good luck

Lesoberon April 8, 2010 at 6:31 am
