People are commenting that they think the Lagonda was ugly -- however, I think exactly the opposite. If you think about it, the Lagonda was way ahead of its time in the styling department. Angular lines and sharp edges became the hallmark of cars in the mid to late 1980s so in this regard, the Lagonda was visionary for its day. The Lagonda is to the '80s what the E-type was to the '60s -- the very essence of contemporary (for the day) styling.

A beutiful car, I love it! One of my dreams when I was a boy and still is.

I remember seeing the Lagonda for the first time at a now-defunct exotic car dealer in Southern California. It was sitting on the showroom floor behind velvet ropes and to 13 year old me, it was the most intimidating car I'd ever seen. Every detail of it screamed "Power" and "Money" compared to the velour-lined luxury barges of the era. It was a striking car then, and even more so now. I've seen only ONE on the road in 40 years; it emerged from an underground parking garage, seemingly out of nowhere, with 4 older people inside. It turned the corner and slipped away in complete silence; I'm glad I was standing on the sidewalk, because I'd have fallen off my bike from shock. I'm still hoping for a ride in this spaceship someday.

People say the rover sd1 3500 v8 of that time was bad but tbh that was the styling and even english build quality of the period and at the time people liked the angular styling. I think the lagonda would have done a lot better in the US where 8mpg was more acceptable. 2.5 times the average uk house price looks insane for metal on wheels but it's probably what people think of the RR Cullinan today - easily approaching £500k for a well 'personalised' model. I think the RR and Bentley SUV makes as much sense to people today as the Lagonda and other aesthetically challenged vehicles did 40 years ago. We will be looking back at RR Bentley SUV's in 2050 thinking how crazy we were in 2018!

i would of bought one but wouldnt of known if i had to take it to a garage or a carpenter if i crashed it

It was a little over 2 US$ to the pound in the mid-70's so the Lagonda would have cost a little over $200k US$ today.

In furniture manufacturing of office desks with steel frames and wooden tops they would argue about WHO drilled the holes in the metal for the screws! The table top guys said they didn't want to take the jobs of the steel guys. The company said the table top guys should drill the hole. The union decided BOTH should drill the SAME HOLE. So they did. OTHERWISE they couldn't fire you so you sat in the lunchroom ALL DAY DOING NOTHING with full pay. The inflation become do bad that even those little 3 wheeled reliant things actually rose in price EVERY 3 MONTHS and basically EVERYTHING did. Coz they were borrowing and printing money like MAD to cover british leyland to make the mini and other cars AT A LOSS. Ford bought a few minis to rip them apart to see how they could make them SO CHEAP. And then found out they were making thrm AT A LOSS..... covered by government money printing....

High quality SD studio video in 1080i could show you how good SD video was before it was corrupted by high compression or analog transmission paths. Such as cable companies or satellite home delivery. Also, when transferring the video black levels and color should be adjusted along with the video. This transfer looks like its at default settings. A waveform monitor and vector scope can be a big help in getting optimal video from an old transfer. Most editors never touch those settings. So however the transfer was done is how it tends to stay for life..
