1984 Aston Martin Lagonda — LHD, chassis 13359
William Towns' wedge-shaped spaceship — one of only 645 Series 2 cars, with its futuristic digital dashboard.
The story
Nothing else on the road looks like an Aston Martin Lagonda. William Towns' radical folded-paper wedge stunned the world in 1976, and its LED digital instrumentation made it the most technologically ambitious production car of its age — and among the most expensive.
Chassis #13359 is a left-hand-drive Series 2, one of only 645 built. Power comes from the hand-assembled 5.3-litre V8 through a Chrysler TorqueFlite automatic. Long undervalued, the Lagonda has become one of the fastest-appreciating Aston Martins of its period.
