According to the HMAL website there are around 24 with only one V12 auto!! The Cromer car is an auto but I am not sure which engine! Regards, Matthew T.

Tempting Neil isn't it! I can now confirm this example is a 1981 V8 auto and one of 13 that survive! Regards,

The Lagonda was designed in a month. But took two years to sort out the electronic dash! And it still didn't work when the car was finally launched. Touch sensitive switches too. Ahead of its time really, most modern cars are going that way with their screens ect.

They look terrific, very 70's. Gotta love a wedge. There was a dark green one that lurked around here back in the 90's. Massive thing.

I also spotted this later the same day! My parents had a 96 one year older that I remember fondly and another very rare car today. Regards, Matthew T.

Actually the Saab is not that rare compared to the Lagonda with 550 overall in existence! Regards, Matthew T.
