In another exclusive episode, Iain welcomes the single owner and buyer of a complete one-off, a factory-original Aston Martin Lagonda Vantage! A car so rare that many Aston Martin experts, Iain included, could be forgiven for not knowing it even existed, until now! Exclusively commissioned to add that special Aston Martin V8 performance to the stylish Lagonda looks, Iain and the owner chat about how the car came into being and the many details that make this special car so unique, and maybe even worthy of being a Bond car!
The car is in immaculate condition, belying its 35 years of existence, but it is due an engine tune-up. Never one to shy away, Iain grabs his trusty hosepipe and screwdriver and sets to work, before taking the car for a road test to experience that raw V8 Vantage performance.

Personally, although I agree the colour is perfect for this car, I actually DON'T like such wheels, either on this car, or cars generally. I know he probably had low profile tyres to make sure they weren't too squash round corners, but for me LOOKS are the thing. I would rather drive a bit more slowly, on wheels with more attractive thicker tyres, that don't look " penny pinching" on the rubber! I also don't like the spiked wheels, which have spindly looking spokes.I'd rathet have more "abundant" conventional wires, myself, that have less gaps between them! But that's what "Mr. H.

I used to use the Gunsons Colorplug as well. What a clean and tidy workshop. Not a mark on the floors. No higgledy piggeldy mess of parts everywhere. Please do a video on Prince Charles's Vantage, frog and all. I drive a 1991 Toyota Landcruiser and a 2001 Mercedes S430. I have had tons of offers for mu Toyota, can't part with it, drove it off the showroom floor. Nobody has touched it except me. Runs like a dream. Keep up the good work, we like the same cars, like the Espada. Looking forward to more of your great videos.

The update kit provides a greater flow through a larger venturi and better fuel mixing from the spray bar arrangement and not to mention that the Dells had a better progression circuit for part throttle operation. It was no coincidence that the Lotus adopted the Dells in preference to the Webers that are by comparison a switch - either on or off. Its good to see the Webers having been well tuned.

Normally I don't like the large diameter wheels on classic cars but on this one they really work. They give it the illusion of being a smaller car! I've always liked the look of the Lagonda but this brown with the color of the interior and the gold pinstipes in the hollows of the body really set this one apart. (I have a GTV6 in Luci Del Bosco which I really like and this is very similar although darker.) The only thing I would change if it were mine would be to paint the wheels gold or bronze like my Alfa. Fantastic looking car!

I remember the Aston Martin Lagonda from the early/mid 80's. It was 2-3 in Norway (Oslo) and I often saw one in the neighborhood where I lived. The car was very special to say the least, but it had an appearance that was second to none at the time. Nothing else looked so futuristic and made modern - except for the Lamborghini Countach and maybe the Citroën SM and BX. Compared to other similar cars at the time such as the Mercedes-Benz W116/W126 and Jaguar XJ, the Lagonda was like from another galaxy far away. I went in a different direction and bought a Porsche 928S with leather interior throughout (seats, dashboard, headlining etc.) instead. The overall concept from the Lagonda is not entirely different, even though the Porsche only has two doors. The actual driveline with a large V8 engine in front (though 4,7 liter and fuel injection in the 928S) and a torque converter automatic transmission is quite identical. Incidentally, these gearboxes were hillarious with a first gear going to 118 Km/h, the second gear going to 187 km/h and the third gear going to 260 Km/h in the 928S. I remember that in the Kassel slopes in Germany on the Autobahn I was caught between the gears at a speed of aprox 200 km/h and was heavily run over by a then brand new Mercedes-Benz W201 190E 2.3-16 with some 100 less horsepower. I should probably have bought the 928S with a manual gearbox and got a much better car, but this was not known at the time due to lack of information (Internet, KZfaq etc.). However, locally in Norway with a then legal maximum speed of 90 Km/h, the 928S really had supercar performance (e.g 60-100 Km/h) with a first gear that went to almost 120 Km/h :)

I worked at Newport Pagnell from 1985 and it was at the time of development of the Virage. As Project Manager in the prototype division I had the pleasure of driving a 2 door Lagonda which was being used for development for the Virage. I also recall an American lady choosing the paint colour from an aubergine that she brought with her. And I recall seeing the finished Lagonda resplendent in its dark aubergine colour with matching leather trim and her initials on the lambswool carpets and umbrella and Crystal flutes. I believe it was the last one built. These were in Victor Gauntlet days. I could go on and on........

Wow! What an extraordinary car! For all of their quirks, I’ve always been a fan of the Lagonda - William Towns’ wonderful styling, and the space age interior - fabulous! Mr H (which is also my nickname!) has kept that unique car in exceptional condition!

I remember this car very well, I went to school with Mr H’s son, one day in the summer term, he parked it in the middle of the lawn and his son watched TV in the back.

Very cool! Interviewing owners is a great way to get insight on these fantastic cars, especially when they are one of a kind. Thanks for sharing these vehicles and their stories with us.

It looks so new. So it's been kept & maintained perfectly as well. What a cool guy to have ordered that 1 of 1 machine.

Amazing example of an exceptional car. In Australia in 1984 my children's charity raffled off a new silver Aston Martin Lagonda supplied by Bob Jane Aston Martin. It was the most expensive car available in Australia at the time. $235,000. We received a $40,000 discount from Bob Jane. 4,000 tickets for sale @$100 each. One luxury car dealer bought 13 tickets in the series with 13 in the ticket number. Like 1013, 2012, 3013, 1307, 1313. A doctor's wife bought 30 tickets for her Aston Martin enthusiast hubby... The winning ticket was a Melbourne newsagent with 1311 - one ticket. Sold the car to a Western Australian and paid off the mortgage on his news agency. It was amazing to drive - even in the streets of Sydney.

A real eye opener about this beautiful car. Always assumed they were just big and ungainly beasts yet Iain shows how it literally shrinks around you with bespoke elegance and vault like solidity. Fabulous installment and many thanks to TCW and Mr H for sharing this.
