A collector’s dream!
By the mid 1970’s Aston Martin was experiencing some financial
trouble from stiff competition, but rather than folding under
pressure, Aston Martin turned to designer William Towns who penned
Aston Martin’s most lavish automobile to date. The Lagonda, Aston’s
first 4 door sedan, featured computer management and an electronic
solid state digital dashboard both automotive firsts. Almost
immediately the order book filled up with customers who were
required to send in a $10,000 down payment just to be put on the
waiting list. Exquisite craftsmanship was clearly evident as the
car was completely hand assembled, with every fender and crisp line
formed from the techniques used by Aston for decades before. No
detail was over looked including the 20 coats of paint per car. The
full leather interior used nine hides, each hand selected. Power
was derived from a hand assembled 5.3 litre dual-overhead-cam V8
that produced 280hp, giving the new Lagonda a 0-60 time of 7
seconds. Production only averaged about one car a week with every
car taking over three months to complete. Road & Track magazine
reviewed the car in 1982 and simply stated the Lagonda has “Ferrari
performance and Rolls-Royce luxury at a price you can’t afford.”
Considering that the price eventually pushed $200,000 meant the
Lagonda was only reserved for some of the most affluent clientele
across the globe. The series IV Lagonda was introduced in 1987 at
the Geneva Motor Show, the slight redesign was again drawn by
William Towns who softened the edges of the new car while
eliminating the pop up headlights that were featured on the series
II & III cars. Production would end in 1989 with only 106 Series IV
Lagonda’s constructed. The extremely low production numbers,
unmatched quality, legendary performance and new technology was a
huge leap forward for automotive design and again showed the world
that Aston Martin was and will forever be a leader in the luxury
car market.
The 1989 Aston Martin Lagonda Series IV featured here is finished
in stunning Dark Royal Blue with an impeccably kept beige leather
interior. This magnificent motorcar is one of very few 1989 models
