1985 Aston Martin Lagonda

1985 Aston Martin Other Description

I would put this car up against any Lagonda in the world. It is that good.
The absolute best on the market. One of only maybe 5 in the world with a completely ORIGINAL and completely WORKING CRT dashboard, INCLUDING the voice feature, which speaks with a British accent. The dash alone cost over $7000 to perfect and was done in the UK by the premier expert on these dashboards The entire dash was removed, and shipped overnight to the UK. Aston Martin themselves utilize his services when a Lagonda dash is in need of fixing.
This car has been worked on by the foremost expert in the NY/NJ area from day one
Every single function works flawlessly and the engine/transmission run perfectly. Every switch, light, function etc, WORKS. That is completely unheard of with these cars.
The rear was dropped, rebuilt and seal coated.
A/c is ice cold, with new fittings for a completely leak free system
The entire electrical system was redone with silver tips, so no corrosion is possible. Electrical corrosion in Lagondas is guaranteed otherwise, and will eventually cause the car to be completely inoperable.
Original tool case, warning triangle and owners manual included. Brand new, gorgeousdeep pile rug overlays (seen in pictures), made by the same company that supplied them in 1985 to Aston Martin. The vast majority of Lagondas are missing at least one of these.
Includes original factory build sheet
Never hit, no bodywork, no filler anywhere. Original 1985 paint with a perfect and expected patina. Excellent, rich, glossy finish shape for lacquer paint from that period
If youre like me, you know nothing ruins the character of these classic Astons like restoring them cosmetically. Fully original cosmetics is the only way to go for real enthusiasts
What you want is a fully original cosmetic car that is in excellent cosmetic shape, which is what you see here
NO structural of any kind. ZERO structural rust including the sills.
If you're seriously looking for a Lagonda, you've found it. I would gladly bet money you will never see one like this again
Only 125 of the 645 Lagondas built had the CRT dash, which was by far the most advanced of the three dash versions for its time.
Of those 125, there are likely only about 100 left, with maybe 20-25 of those in the US. Ive seen most of them and they are a mess of problems, both mechanically/electrically, and cosmetically
Just finding one with ALL of its original components has become nearly impossible. Whether it be some horrendous converted dashboard or an engine conversion, finding one like this simply will not happen.
This is THE ONE.
Good luck bidding!
