I'm in Beverly Hills and my neighbor has his 1980 Lagonda parked in his garage since circa 1985 (he replaced it with a Rolls and never looked back). It's under a cover (I think it has 16,000 miles on the odo) and has not been moved since. If I recall his story, it needed a new radiator and the dealership said it would take 3 months to arrive. He parked it in disgust, bought a Rolls, and it has been parked every since. He's now about 90 and remains sharp as a tack (but stopped driving about 15 years ago). That car makes a 1969 Cadillac Broughm look like a Toyota Corolla.

See Doug DeMoro’s take on this car. Very quirky. 👌

A woman who owned Ford dealerships in Nottinghamshire when I was a child owned 2 of these. The first was a Geneva show car which failed badly on her and was replaced by a bespoke version, for which she commissioned a sepia book, showing every stage of the car’s production I was looking at her car outside the dealership and she spotted me . She not only took me for a ride in the car, she loaned the incredibly expensive book showing the cars assembly in blind faith that I would return the book which I did. What an experience

I too, was at the Earls Court Motor Show 1976, with my late friend , Alan Thorpe. We had saved up our paper round money for weeks on end, ( earning £1.62 1/2 per week ) , for the combined coach trip from Kidderminster / entrance fee. The Lagonda was undoubtedly the car of the show, it was out of this world , both in design and price range. I remember the trip for various reasons. 1; I got pickpocketed outside Earl’s Court , so my additional fiver I’d saved for a steak meal treat after got cancelled, 2; walking from Earls Court across Hyde Park to Marble Arch to collect the coach back also seeing the orange mid engined turbo diesel Mercedes prototype in the dealership at Marble Arch, and 3; this Lagonda . 1976 , what a year!

Small correction, it is not the only Rolls Royce Midnight Blue, we here in The Colonies have been lucky enough to have one in LHD. All the best, keep the throttle down :) Tom Papadopoulos Autosport Designs, Inc.

' It's so Thunderbirds.' is the best description of the Lagonda I have ever heard.

Epic on every level, I was there at my first motorshow in 76, this car is still imprinted in my memory. Looks absolutely amazing even now, proper ‘as you imagine’ luxury interior. Totally with Harry on this one, not the fastest but makes ALL the right noises and just so so desirable. Sadly we will never see unique cars like this ever make production again, a genuine jaw dropper and a very happy memory.

Its a pure William Towns design. He also designed the Aston Martin Bulldog 200mph supercar thats recently been restored . I believe he also did some of the early Lotus straight wedges.. The man was very fond of wedges.😉😎 He also did the amazing Hustler 4 and 6 wheel kit cars culminating in the impressive Jaguar based 6 wheel Highlander though a a lot of modern electric city car designers could take a few lessons from his Tiny Microdot 3 seater abreast DIY hybrid with its built in shopping trolley boot. Amazing given its tiny overall length and the fact he wasnt a short man either. Ive forgotten the name of his design studio🤔..but he was a genuine enthusiast for kit car design and i love the economy and practicality of his 6 wheel Hustler Huntsmans. ..I would love to see them reimagined with E power. The best version of this beast is the Estates😎 its like the car the Volvo V70 wanted to be 😂 price... If you have to ask you cannot afford one ...🙄🤣

Harry, this car captured my full attention when I was in high school and has been a sweet spot in my automotive memories from that first glimpse in whatever car magazine I was drooling over at that time. To be a young man surrounded by American muscle cars, this was the start of my love affair with stately sedans.😊

I was on that stand too. My brother on the simulator and me in the car, As a fourteen year old. I seem to remember Lord Hesketh being on the stand too.

I was 11 years old when I first saw the Lagonda in a magazine. I was completely floored with this car and I still get the same feeling every time I see one. Thanks for doing a video on this.

As a kid, I'm 52, when I first saw this car in Road & Track I was blown away by its design and futuristic CRT interior that was so far ahead of everyone else that 40-ish years later it seems even more amazing to me. Harry, thank you for reviewing this amazing car.

I remember that too. Road & Track introduced me to F1 in the 80s as well. Great Magazine back in the day.

In ‘84 starting a new job in west London, I briefly lodged in the family home of a colleague. One evening his mother turned up and got me to look at her new company car, a virtually unused 2 year old AM Lagonda that her boss wasn’t driving! We took it for a run round Fulham and it did feel like an absolute spaceship. I’ve loved them (at a distance) ever since. For context, I was driving a mini pickup at the time.

If I’m not mistaken the series 1-3 had to have secondary rear lights in the underside of the boot lid because the main rear lights lifted with the boot. I loved it as a kid in the ‘70s - inspirational, yet utterly bonkers. I think I love it even more now. Wow.

The best automotive channel on youtube, been sitting with a smile on my face for 20 minutes, great review and what a car. I just had a thought aswell, if my lottery numbers come up, and I struggle with what cars to buy I just have to sift thru whats tested on this channel and whats in the garage and pick out quite a few of the cars tested out to put in my dream garage. Props to Harry for bringing us these cars.

Hats off to Harry and Johnny Smith reviewing interesting cars👏👏👏

I had the pleasure of seeing one of these in the 80's in Bury, Greater Manchester. It was parked outside an old textile mill. It really did look like a space ship. What an amazing machine.

When I was a kid looking at the car magazines.... this was the ultimate. A fantasy car. Wonderful to see.

What a wonderful and rare car! My father found it ugly back in the early eighties, I, on the other hand, have always been a big fan of this design. Thank you so much for the exhaustive review.

Stunning design, and for those of us who were 70's kids into cars it was an iconic dream machine! But wish they'd left the rear light cluster design alone - the series 1-3 block design looked much better.

I'm an 80's kid, but this car has fascinated me for as long as I can remember. I've never seen one in person, but read piles of classic car magazine articles about it during the 80's and 90's.

Must have looked absolutely incredible at launched, still extremely striking and unique, awesome thing!!

A real stunner of a car, it's hard to think that its the best part of fifty years since it landed at Earl's Court and still looks as fresh and futuristic as it did back then.

I was at the 76 motorshow as a spotty 12 yr old and even managed to get on the stand! Seem to remember they had a separate mock up of the dashboard. Whole car was, in fact, really a mock up but as a 12 yr old, one of the best days ever. Happy times. Thanks Harry for the review.

My friend, Martin Hamblin was the sales manager for Marshall of Cambridge Aston Martin and Jaguar in the 80's and 90's. He told me at the time that the Lagonda was by far the quickest of the range between Cambridge and Newport Pagnell. That included the Vantage and also the new Virage. It is one of my all time greatest cars.

I've never really known what to make of the Aston Martin Lagonda. I love that it exists, but I've zero interest in having or even driving one. It's the sort of thing that works best in a museum as a piece of 70s kitsch. As an artifact, it's absolutely superb.

This has always been one of my favorite cars, thanks Harry!

Thanks for the great review of what I've always found to be a fascinating car. I remember reading anything I could find on these during the 80's, 90's and 00's - so being able to see one in an actual video review was fantastic. Had a good chuckle too at the shag pile carpet, "Knight Rider 2000" dashboard, and you accidentally triggering the fuel cap!

Thank you for creating reviews like these. A refreshing change from the modern vehicles. As a child, I remember these being launched in the mid 70's, they were like space ships ! In what must have been the early 90's I first saw one on the road and I was still blown away. This year I saw four together at the AMHT Festival at the National Motor Museum - revived all those childhood memories.

Hi Harry, fantastic..! A local businessman bought one of these back in the day where I live. I was still at school at the time & was out on my bike & saw it parked outside a local pub / restaurant. I marvelled at its futuristic look & remember seeing those Star Ship Enterprise style buttons on the dash when I stopped to have a look. Keep up the good work, your videos are Ace..!!!

That blue luggage is so cool

What an icon of a automobile. Timeless, clean lines. Certainly one of the (forgotten) greats!

A rare sight here in Australia, however I did see one in the early 80's (I think) at the Bathurst 1000 car race. It was just parked in the paddock area behind the pits. You can't really comprehend the dimensions of these cars until you're standing next to one. They are huge.

Flamboyant medical doctor Geoffrey Edelsten had an earlier one. A few years ago I saw a black earlier one advertised by a dealer in Australia.

Absolutely stunning car…thank you Harry for featuring it. Such a nice treat to see this iconic vehicle.

A jaw dropping car when launched and now. If you want to turn heads wherever you go, I would say that £89k for such a rare car is the way to go. It’s a lot of money but in comparison with it’s price new and what £89k buys you these days that’s not a bad price

As a 16yr old petrol head I can also remember this being launched in '76 and sharing Harry's thoughts exactly, Thunderbirds are Go!😂 Digital instrumentation and looks, seemingly straight from a Gerry Anderson series it was like nothing else before it or since for that matter. Digital dash aside, sumptuous interiors were nothing new but this car is obviously all about the styling and it's aged so well👍 The well proven AM V8 may feel a bit anaemic pushing 2+ tons but it does have a nicely muffled sound track. Curiously, the one fact that springs to mind whenever I see a picture of one of these is that Prince Charles had one!

Love love love those. There’s a light blue on tan 3rd generation in Orange County, CA where I live. Here, where Bentleys, Ferraris, Lambos….are so common, the Lagonda stands out like nothing else. What a design, what a presence!

Harry this is you at your best Great car from from the past And you sharing with us the experience

Harry: We ASKED for more interesting classics...You LISTENED and...DELIVERED! 😍 What an amazing machine! 😄 I think I do prefer the looks of the original '79 version (especially lights, -front AND rear) but yes that early dash was full of issues. Imagine trying to park it though!? 😖 But HOW heavy? 😨 ...And (£120k in '89?) HOW MUCH? 😵 Still love it though, despite the OTT lambswool! 😂 ...But looks like a great tran-continental cruiser! 👍🏻Brilliant vid Harry! More like this please...10/10 ! ☺️👏🏻👍🏻

Absolutely stunning automobile!...There were several running around Beverly Hills in the late 1970's and while captivating, the fit and finish was just terrible for a vehicle of this stature. I imagine they improved over time."Thunderbirds Are Go!" is right on Harry - hope you do more classics like this.

Thank you Harry, for this phenomenal video!!

Always thought it looked like a gigantic Volvo 740, great video Harry!

Probably my all-time favorite classic hyper luxury car, because it was above all a futurist design which did away with all the typical luxury car looks at the time. I have always liked the quirky, forward-looking designs. And seen today, it is so slender looking - sure miss that, as much as I miss the big glass areas. Still, I think the first iteration was the mest looking - shame it is not the best example.

The only production car I remember being on Blue Peter. It looked like the future.

Always hoping to catch a glimpse of Bulldog (I don't remember if I ever did or not). It's amazing how modern the Lagonda still looks! Great video, thanks again.

Man o man Harry! My dream review I didn’t ask for…THANK YOU!!! 🙌🏽

Fabulous review of an amazing car, very enjoyable to watch.

It was cool enough that Evel Knievel had one in 1993, towing a trailer that was made of the rear end of another lagonda , with mountain bikes on it's roof... hung out with that madman for Thanksgiving 1993 at the Maxim hotel, Las Vegas.

I used to do garden work for an old gent on an estate house here in Ireland. He had, i think, was the only originally Irish 1990 registered Lagonda. Racing Green in colour. It was kept mostly in the garage but he would take it out for trips to town. This gent was in his eighties and every time he'd take it out he would have hit off something and it would cost him to fix it. Couldn't accept that as an avid car lover he's spacial awareness was letting him down. And possibly first signs of dementia which was what overcame him later. It also gave trouble with the electric dash and was a huge beast on narrow Irish roads. He got mad with it one day when it again failed the test. This time because of mismatched tyres. He sold it to a young guy in his early twenties for €8k. He sold it on quickly. I was distraught when i found out. Seen it again at a car show in Dublin. Hoped to speak to the current owner but was nowhere to be found. This is a review I've been waiting for.

Great video throughly enjoyed. Brings back memories.

I love this behemoth of the roads. At 17, my school friends separated mother met this shady guy whose business was very mysterious and which had links with the Italian mafia. We were permitted to go to one of the mothers boyfriends bbq/party and he arrived in a beautiful gold 2 door Aston Lagonda. We climbed in the back and the seats were divine and I remember the softness of the carpet. It was sumptuous and the creamy thick leather covering the seats was no expense spared. We glared at all the lights in the dash and how the individual led lights of the speedometer slowly illuminated the curved readout as the car gathered speed. The car just purred and its lumbering motion ignored any bumps in the road. An unforgettable car but I’m sure one of Aston’s models the Aston Martin company are willing to forget because it would be unmake-able now, but I’ll always love it and if I had the spare cash would buy one.

Still a wonderful space ship. I had the pleasure once to see one in the real world and it was so unreal...I will never forget this moment

Fantastic video Harry. I like the shape, front and rear of the earlier cars.

Amazing car! I remember a friend of my Dad bringing one over to our house in the 80s, when I was a kid. Vast and futuristic!
