Hitting the market in 1976, the Lagonda stopped traffic dead. There was nothing else like it on the road at the time. With a design straight from the future, William Towns’ crisp, linear “flying wedge” styling covered a powerful twin-cam V-8 and advanced chassis beneath. In particular, the Lagonda was lauded for its early use of fully digital instrumentation, including touch-screen dashboard controls.

In 1987, Towns agreed to come back to Aston Martin to give the Lagonda wedge design a facelift in preparation for the model’s 1990 retirement. The resulting model, nicknamed the Series 4, lasted for a total production run of 105 examples – one such example is on offer today. Delivered new to Japan, chassis 13623 has the characteristic Series 4 fixed headlights, which replaced the dated popup lights. Also seen are the new 16-in. Wolfrace alloy wheels. Build records on file show that chassis 13623 remains in the original colours of British Racing Green with Parchment trim and Olive carpet.

This original Japanese-delivery example would be an excellent addition to any Aston Martin collection, representing one of the most advanced and modern sedans to come out of England in the 1980s.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pa19.
