A trouble free Lagonda is like the actor playing Obelix being skinny, it's hard to imagine today. It might have had a positive impact on his health, but would it have been better overall? I doubt it.
Sometimes I get the impression that the unreliable image has helped some models in some way, giving them a slightly crime thriller like aura. People who buy these cars are happy to have such a challenge.
Of course, I'm referring to people who own this car today. When it was new, its first owners generally expected it to work, but things were different, especially with cars from the beginning of this series.
I deliberately write "this series" because the iconic Lagonda is formally a second series, a second generation. The problem is that the first series looked like a completely different car like other Aston Martins and it's been forgotten.
I don't know if this car would be perceived better or worse today if it were trouble free, but I have a feeling that the combination of its unique appearance and the aura of the world's most unreliable car is its identity.
I sometimes wonder what the history of this car would have been like if it hadn't broken down? Itβs likely a successor would have appeared, which means that the Lagonda in this form might have been produced for a shorter period.
That's why, in some way, I'm glad it is as it is, because I don't know what the alternative version would have been. Under the hood, these cars were powered by 5,3 V8 engines, this example dates from 1984. Here's the link to the ad:
