which is strange in itself and this car cost a hundred and seventy thousand dollars in 1987, which translates to 370 thousand dollars in today's money, it also happens to be one of my favorite cars of all time because it is so strange and so rare that it is just cool, today I will take you on a tour of If I Borrowed This Luganda of Autosport Designs here on Long Island in New York, they have an incredible inventory of almost

ever

y exotic, vintage, and cool car you can imagine.

Aston Martin DB5s Ferraris Bentleys. There is an F50 in the showroom right now, but when they get closer. and I asked them if there was anything they had in their inventory that they wanted to check out. It was simple, the laganda. I want the laganda and that's obvious to anyone who knows anything about this car. The

lagonda

came out in 1976 and was strange from the day. one was insanely wide and flat, I always felt like it really looked like an anteater, it was pointy in the front for some reason, the interior is crazy and even though people considered this car ugly, I never thought I always thought it was cool , It was different.

Unusual for better or worse, but there's more to this car than its looks. You might wonder, for example, why Aston Martin was making a four-door sedan, but that's not as unusual as you think - although Aston is known for coupes and convertibles, they made a sedan. that lagonda rapide in the 60's they made it during the 1970's and 1980's and currently they sell a four door sedan the rapide which has been on the market for almost a decade now aston martin even recently sold an ultra

luxury

sedan called laganda taraf in foreign markets, but it didn't come to North America, so we've covered the obvious things: it's a sedan and it looks strange, but there's a lot more to it than that, starting with the price, yes, one hundred and seventy thousand dollars back then, three hundred and seventy thousand dollars when inflation is taken into account, making this one of the most expensive sedans you could buy in the 1980s.

Under the hood is a 5.3-liter V8 engine that produced around 300 horsepower of force and about 300 pound-feet of torque and all lugandas had an automatic transmission this car weighs about 4 400 pounds and is 208 inches long compared to a standard city car at the time the volkswagen golf and this It was four feet longer the place was sold until 1990 and there were four versions this is a series three model and I would love to review all the other versions at some point because they all have a different level of rarity. Anyway, I don't usually talk much at the beginning of my videos, but this car has a lot to present. and there's a lot to show you too, so today I'm going to show you the lagoon and it's mini quirks and features, then I'm going to take it out on the road, I'm going to drive it and then I'm going to give it a dug score and for more of my thoughts on the Luganda experience , click the link below to visit autotrader.com oversteer where I've also compiled a list of the strangest Aston Martin models in the brand's history.

I am going to start. the screens, oh yeah, the screens, you know, in your car you have a speedometer, a tachometer, well, this car has old school screens, turn it on and they give off this greenish glow like an old radar system or television from the 80s, this was cutting edge. So of course this is what modern infotainment systems will look like in 30 years, they'll feel exactly that outdated now, once the screens are on you'll be able to see what they do. The one on the left is a little unstable. expected of course given its age it shows its speed, the one in the middle shows what gear it is in and various other characteristics such as the fuel and temperature of the car's engine and the one on the right shows the engine speed, revolutions per minute and check this I pressed the accelerator pedal and yes, the revs go up on this old school screen like you're playing a game of pong.

It's amazing to see this. It was probably the most avant-garde thing Aston came up with 30 years ago and now it's just Funny and yes, as I showed you with the rpm, these displays are reactive, for example if you turn on the headlights you can see that the little headlight icon lights up on the screen to let you know they are on, just like the little light on your headlamp would. They light up in your car's gauge cluster, naturally the displays have some shortcomings, for example they obviously look incredibly dated, but that's not all, they don't show the turn signals that you put on the turn signal and the screens don't show it. instead it just makes the turn signal sound and you have to know which turn signals are on and which turn signal is on.

Also the screens don't show the odometer which is interesting, this card has an odometer but it isn't. we'll get to that in a minute, then we move from the screens to the left where there's this giant flat switch panel with a huge amount of switches that the driver can control. I want to start the discussion about the switch panel by talking about the font, you can see that the font they chose is like that 80's radio font that seemed very futuristic at the time but of course now it looks hilariously dated, it's like if they were trying to be high tech now, obviously, everything on that switch panel.

It's strange starting with the climate controls which are in the top half, there are seven different climate control settings, there is auto low high, those are normal, the strange thing is that the off setting is actually labeled standby, there is no off, it's just called standby, there is also a little mark to the left of the climate control switch that you can use to change the temperature, there is red for heat, blue for cold and then there is green, I don't know what kind of air gives you green air, I had never seen that as an option on a vehicle before now next we move on to the headlights which are quite unusual on this car.

I'll cover the headlights on the outside in a minute, but first let's talk about the switches themselves, there are four, now the one on the left turns on sort of the driving lights, you press that and the whole switch panel lights up. with these little red lights because it's night now so now you can see where all your switches are, then the next three lights control several different types. lights in the car are the full headlights, there is a different set of auxiliary driving lights and then there is another set of auxiliary driving lights, all controlled by these light switches.

Now the next switch is the rear window heater and you'll notice I didn't say rear window defogger and that's because the rear window is actually heated, it has heating coils running through it, you ice it, press that little button and then it will just melt the ice right away. Now the next switch is probably the most interesting one and that's it. the marked bonnet which is of course british english bonnet 4, which covers the engine in the front now, it's not that unusual that there is a switch for that, the strange thing is that there is no trunk opening, there is only a trunk opening hood on that switch panel.

In fact, there is no trunk release mechanism inside the car, you have to go back there with the key to open the trunk. It's also strange because the hood release mechanism is placed directly next to the headlights and fuel door, so you go to open the fuel door or turn on the headlights and suddenly you have opened the hood, which is not really a good situation so when you're there you better look at what you're doing now, interestingly you saw the little screen might say open the trunk and let me know the trunk is open if I accidentally forgot to close it but it won't tell you if the hood is open, in other words the interior of this car will allow you to open the hood and tell you if your trunk is open but it does not allow you to open it nor does it tell you if your hood is open, now next to the hood with shift mark It has the switch that opens the fuel door, except in this car you'll notice there are two. there is a fuel marked with l and there is a fuel marked with r, that is because this car has two fuel doors, press l fuel, the fuel door on the left opens and you can open it, press our fuel and the fuel door The fuel door on the right opens and you can open it now, interestingly, the fuel doors are located on the C-pillar, right here between the rear windows, which is a bit of a strange location, perhaps even more strange the fact that which is hinged at the top, so you open the fuel door like this and then put the fuel pump here and it will be able to pump gas now, you might be wondering if it has two fuel doors, it has two fuel tanks, the answer is no, it just gave you the option to go to the gas pump on whichever side you prefer, but anyway, back inside and back to the switches on the far right of that switch panel, you'll see two Dials: The dial at the top controls the speed of the wipers, so if you turn on the intermittent wipers, you can adjust the speed at which they wipe using that dial.

The bottom part is the dimmer and you can use it to dim the lights on the dash and screens. Next, we move on to the wheel. There are a couple of interesting elements on the steering wheel, but this is not the most interesting steering wheel this car came with. The Series 2 Lagonda models had the strangest steering wheel ever and had a single pillar coming out of the middle and connecting to the steering wheel at the bottom. Unfortunately, Aston Martin abandoned that beautiful design for the 3 Series and we got this more conventional steering wheel. instead, but there are still some quirks, one is the fact that the steering wheel says luganda in the middle of the steering wheel and not aston martin, in fact if you look around this car it just says laganda, the front grill, the rear , the little laganda badges. on the fuel doors, even the owner's manual only says laganda.

Aston Martin was trying to revive Luganda as an ultra-high-end

luxury

sedan brand to complement its sports car brand, so it was trying to be something a little different even though everyone knew they were linked as a result, this car It wasn't technically the Aston Martin Lagonda, although that's how history remembers it. Instead, at the time it was supposed to be called Laganda. Now next we move to the right of the steering wheel where there is another flat switch panel and where you will notice another lagonda logo for some reason. Now this flat switch panel contains a couple of interesting things, one of which is the clock setting.

I made the mistake of pressing the clock button thinking it would only show the clock or change it to 24 hours, actually press clock it adjusts the clock one hour on the screen or at least that's what's supposed to happen, it actually What happened was that I pressed clock and changed the time several times as I should and then I changed the time to 9 68 pm, then to 10 68 pm and then to other great times like 4 68 am. I finally pressed the button to change the minutes and it went back to the normal time that actually exists now on the switch panel. there is a button marked first.

I have no idea what this button does and I have consulted the owner's manual, unfortunately the owner's manual, although he says it is 4a series 3 luganda, which was a short production run, it has a completely different dash than what it had. explains so I have no idea what it does and we will never find out the button on the right however it is labeled view horn and I know what it does look at this the car has a normal horn it listens but if you press c horn changes the note of the horn, listen again at that time this was called city and country horn, there was a horn that you used in the city to honk at people and then a horn that projected further away and that Maybe you would use In the field, what I like is that you can make it look like two people are honking.

If you're really frustrated with someone and want them to move, you can really get their attention with two different horn notes. Look it now. The next switch says mph kmh, that's easy, just change the display on the left from showing miles per hour to showing kilometers per hour. That screen, like I said, is a little wonky so it's hard to tell, but you can see it's changing from mph to kmh now the switches on the right say delete and check again. I have no idea what they do. I imagine some message appears on the screens and you can use these buttons to verify that you have read the message or to delete it. now all together under delete and check you can see three switches labeled off, activate and resume obviously this was the cruise control and it works just like the cruise control in your car.

Off, on or off,activate, activate speed and resume would send you back to speed. that you had set up before, but below those switches are a couple of other interesting ones, there is a blue switch with a snowflake and there is a red switch with a triangle, the red switch with the triangle is obvious, those are the emergency lights that you pressure him. comes on and obviously the hazards turn on the blue switch with the snowflake is different that one sends maximum air conditioning to the cabin curiously it's not close to the rest of the climate control switches but I looked it up in the owner's manual in the which is located there and that's what you do next, moving from the switch panel which, by the way, is only within reach of the driver if you are the passenger and wants to control the climate controls, too bad you will have to ask the driver nicely. driver. but anyway, moving on from the switch panel, we now move on to the center console where you will see 10 switches, they are all exactly the same size, exactly the same shape and have exactly the same diagrams on them two arrows, one pointing up and one pointing down, 10 switches, all unlabeled so you don't know what it turns out the four switches on the front control the power windows, they are arranged to correspond to each power window and in case you wanted to know which window rear of the lagonda goes down most of the way, but not all the way, this is a little Carson coffee trivia for you if you ever see one of these now the six switches. further back and the center console controls the seats, but since they are not labeled and are the same size and shape, it is impossible to know what they do unless you start playing with them, as it turns out that the front one moves the seat forward or back in the middle. one moves the seat up and down and the rear one moves the backrest forward or backward, the other interesting thing here in the middle is this gear lever which is a bit ridiculous, at first it looks like a thin wine bottle stopper high-end, the other The interesting thing about this is that there is no indication down here on the center console what gear you are in when you are shifting into reverse or reverse, for that you have to look at the screen in the center and it shows on what gear are you in? which means you better hope those screens are working or else you might be driving for a while in low gear instead of driving and you wouldn't have a clue how to get to the rest of the quirks on the front of this thing. car, this car does not have a glove box, which is not really a problem considering that Aston Martin gives you a fairly large center console and your center console even has a lock so that it can function exactly as a glove box and speaking of storage, you can see in the middle of this The car has a non-original radio and right above it there is a small compartment that is obviously a storage compartment or the lid is open and it is actually the fuse box which, for some reason, is placed right in the middle of the dash, where you would expect the radio to be.

I've never really seen that, but maybe Aston thought you'd have to access that quite a bit too, another interesting quirk you'll notice if you look here in the rearview mirror, there are no map lights there, well that's it. Because Aston Martin has placed the map lights here above the headrest of the seat behind your head and the lights move like an air conditioning vent on an airplane, you can move and position them to point exactly on the map you want. you're reading while you're driving down the street, it's actually not such a bad idea to have them up there, I like that and then we move on to the sunshades, which are really fun, you drop them down like normal.

The car is similar, the passenger side has a mirror which is nice, but when you want to move the sun visors to the side to protect you from the sun coming in from the side, you unclip them and then they move directly towards your face, you see the hinge that are on, it doesn't actually allow them to move and block the sun on the side of your face like any other sunshade, instead they move but also move down to move towards you and then they're done. randomly blocking the sun diagonally through that window, it's absolutely hilarious on a 370k dollar car, Aston Martin couldn't figure out the side sunshades, next to the seats, you can see these seats are nice and luxurious leather with red trim, pretty standard.

The interesting thing about them is that not only do they have a headrest, but they also have an additional pillow mounted on top of the headrest for added comfort, and then moving on to the driver's door panel, you have a couple of interesting quirks, one of which is the mirror controls, there are only two types of unlabeled sticks that come out of the door panel and you use them to control the mirrors, obviously it doesn't say which one is left or right, that's something that you have to figure out in time with your luganda, the other interesting thing on the driver's door panel is the door lock which is one of the strangest ones i have ever seen, you press it back and forth to lock and unlock the door, neither side really explains if it's locked or unlocked, that's another thing. you have to figure it out in time and another interesting element in that area: the parking brake in this car is not on the center console, which of course would conflict with the rows of unlabeled switches, instead the parking brake hand is located to the left of the driver's seat between the driver's seat and the driver's door.

Now next we move on to the owner's manual and obviously the owner's manual for a Laganda is a quirky goldmine, but I'll try not to be too geeky and keep it to a couple of interesting articles, one of which is the service voucher booklet and you can see that the first service was free for this car and the owner never redeemed that first free service. The free service voucher is still there. We should take this to Aston Martin. of Long Island and demanded a free first service that we never received. Then in the owner's manual, there are a couple of interesting items here, one of which is on page 25 and explains what all those switches in the center are for. up down also says seat backs up down I think it might be a British term.

I'm not really sure what a seat back is, but if you press that particular button, it moves it up and down. I also like the fact that on page 29 a nice British man demonstrates how to use seat belts. I bet this guy told his friends for 30 years. Yes, I am the Lagonda owner's manual man. Yes, that was me. They used me. Honestly, I demonstrated the seat belt in organda. Yes. quite nice do you like to see the photos here they are there yes yes of course another interesting item in the owner's manual the appendices on the last page under a section marked visits it says in one sentence owners and enthusiasts can visit our establishment in Greenwich Connecticut doesn't say where that establishment is located in Greenwich it doesn't say what time it's open it doesn't say what you do there it just gives you that phrase that implies we really don't want you to come but you know we have to put this in anyway because we have to be friendly Now, here's another interesting thing about this car.

Now you can see that there is a giant folder above me and it contains all the service logs going back. Over the years it's amazing how much work has been done to this car and the owner kept it all. It's organized into tabs by year, of course, the owner was so meticulous that he even saved fuel receipts from decades ago. I'm looking at a fuel receipt. from a race track in Bloomfield Hills Michigan since April 2004. Back then gas was only 1.91 per gallon. Then we move on to the back seats and getting into the back seats is surprisingly difficult due to the unusual design of this car, the rear door isn't really that open and it's at a certain angle towards you, so getting in the back is actually kind of of a contortionist act that stuns me.

It's very difficult to get back up here which is something that would have bothered me if I had spent 370,000 on my aston martin luxury sedan but now I'm in the back and it's not particularly spacious back here also because of the design of this car you can see I'm sitting here in a normal place this front seat is in a normal place and my knees are hitting it, which is not what I would expect from a 370,000 luxury sedan, but still there are a number of interesting quirks in the rear, as expected. I'm going to start with the shag carpet, this car has this nice cream interior. with red accents, it has red shag carpet back here and I'm sure it felt great 30 years ago when this car came out, but it's obviously been worn out over the years, it's fun to see red carpet on a car like this now.

The next interesting item is the window controls for the rear passengers to roll down the rear windows. Those controls are located down here on the back of the front center console. Why didn't they put them on the doors? Well, they just didn't. I had to bend down and roll down the windows now, that wouldn't be especially interesting except for the fact that this car has rear climate control. If you open this little cubby above the windows, you can see that there is a small dial to adjust the air. How much air comes back here and that makes you wonder because in most cars with rear climate control the vents are right here on the back of the front center console, but in this car they put the window controls there , so where exactly is the vent? that you can control in that cubby, why would that be behind you, there's an air vent in the parcel shelf behind the back seats and if you turn up the air, the air conditioning blows at you from behind to cool you down, which is something which I had never seen it before in any sedan.

Here's another crazy detail in the back seat of this car. This car has a rear sunroof. It doesn't have a front sunroof, so front passengers don't have a sunroof. Rear passengers are exposed to the sun. Unfortunately, the rear sunroof does. It's not open, it's just a fixed pane of glass and if you're sitting in the back you can just look at it and look out and see the world or if you don't want to see the world it has a sunshade. but not as you would expect, it has individual rear sunshades, one for each passenger, that slide across the sunroof to block the sun, but of course they don't block all the sun, they block some of the sun, just mesh, the sun can still go through it and even if you have both rear sunshades in place, there is still a strip in the middle that is not covered, so if you are sitting here you will get sun from that sunroof that you don't have. choice in the matter, another interesting element like many luxury cars of the era and now there is a rear center armrest, you pull this little leather tab and then the center armrest extends and you can put your arms on it.

It's worth noting that there is no middle seat. in this car there are only two rear seats, two sets of seat belts back here, so even when the center armrest is up the center area cannot be used as a seat, another interesting element, the rear seat in this car is unusually narrow, it stops. It's about eight inches short of touching the door panel, so it's not particularly wide, which is strange. If you're a larger person, you might be wondering where the rest of the seat is. It is interesting that possibly to cover this Aston Martin he placed a small leather pad. between the seat and the door to recover that lost space that would otherwise be a kind of no man's land in that area.

I'm not sure why they didn't widen the seat, but it was Aston Martin that we moved on to next. to the outside of the lagonda where we have to discuss the headlights now first you can see that they are pop up beacons you press the little light switch inside and the lights come on and suddenly the anteater can see but the fact that they are pop The headlights on is not the most unusual thing about them, that honor goes to the large number of lights. Remember I showed you all those auxiliary light switches inside. They correspond to one, two, three, four, five different white headlight beams on each side, so if you have all the headlights on at once in your lugonda you can have 10 different lights on while driving down the road the anteater can see much next we move on to the engine and the bonnet or bonnet as the British call it Now I've pressed that little button on the switch panel to open the bonnet.

Now I open it up, it's pretty heavy, but you open it up and there are a couple of interesting elements that you notice. One is obvious: it's the hingelead. that when it's open you can only access it from one side, as the hinges are at the front you can't access it from the front like a normal car, that's not that unusual, it was reasonably common in the older time period unusual. It's the fact that the headlights come on when the hood is raised. Now at the time this was legal but it is no longer allowed. US federal regulations now say that all headlights and taillights must be fixed in place even when the tailgate is in the trunk and the hood is raised, so if Aston were selling this car today, they would have We have to change this design and find a way to fix the lights when the hood is raised.

Another interesting thing down here, you can see that the engine block says Aston Martin. Lagonda, apart from a few other spots under the hood, this is the only place I can see that it actually says Aston Martin. The Luganda shared this engine with other Aston Martin models and perhaps wanted to highlight that point by showing you that. The engine was from an Aston Martin sports car, but by far the most interesting thing under this hood, near the base of the windshield on the passenger side, is the odometer, right there, because of the screens, the odometer is not on the group of indicators.

I told you we'd get back to that in a minute. Well, it's been a little over a minute, but you can see the odometer under the hood. I've never seen that before and I know someone will come here and say, "Well, 1946." Duesenberg had it good under the hood but that's really weird and that's the actual miles on this car, you want to read the odometer you have to open the hood and then it shows up there like a traditional odometer, like that's not weird at all now , then moving on to the trunk, I just mentioned about the headlights that rise with the hood and that that wouldn't work well anymore, it's even worse in the back when you open the trunk, all the tail lights and warning signs turn and reversing lights open along with it, so if you're unloading something from the side of the road into your lagonda late at night, open the boot and no one will know you're here you better just hope it doesn't. hit you now, interestingly, although Aston Martin wasn't quite ready to comply with the regulations that said all taillights and headlights must be on a fixed piece of the body, they did have to comply with another US one. regulation and that was the third brake light right at the time this car was built 8687 the US government mandated that all cars must have a third brake light, this car was obviously not designed for that and was You can tell that Aston Martin jammed a third brake light there with a piece of tape and a wire and you can see how silly the solution was even though you were spending this amount of money on an Aston Martin luxury sedan.

Now, another interesting item related to the taillight, the last one, I promise. Some countries realized that it would be a problem if the rear lights disappeared when the trunk was raised, so they had Aston Martin install supplementary brake lights inside the trunk that would come on if the trunk was raised and on page 33 in the owner of the lagonda. In the manual, you can see these lights displayed as they would have actually been inside the trunk, waiting to be used when the trunk was open. A couple of other interesting items inside the trunk. You look inside the trunk and you will see that it is not particularly big.

Although there is a nice low load floor as they don't have to keep the taillights fixed and can come on when you open the trunk, you will also see that the trunk is nicely carpeted in red with white piping to match the interior. It's also interesting that in the trunk on the left you'll see that there are a couple of small built-in items, one looks like it's maybe designed to hold the owner's manual and the other contains this large briefcase. What exactly is this large briefcase? That's the tool kit. I'm not going to open it because when you do, the tools go everywhere and it's a little annoying, but you get a tool case when you buy a laganda and then we move on to the wheels, now the wheeled design.

Not particularly unusual for cars from the 70's and 80's, it seemed quite normal at the time, you can see that the luganda logo is on a small plate that covers the nuts, now that's not so unusual either, many cars had the covered nuts. The strange thing about this one back then is that it requires a wrench to remove that little plate and access the nuts. You have to insert a key into that little keyhole and only then can you remove the plate. The idea was for security, so others. People couldn't steal your wheels or tires, but I bet plenty of angry Lagonda owners found themselves on the side of the road trying to remember where they put that key when they had a puncture, and those are the Aston's mini quirks. martin lagonda now it's time to take it out on the road and see how well it drives driving the laganda the first thing you notice is that the pedals are a little offset and the brake pedal I have revved the engine a couple of times thinking I was pressing the brake pedal when it wasn't, the accelerator pedal is a little to the right and on the road in the legato I always wanted to do this my whole life, the steering wheel is too small given the size of this vehicle, oh it's great to drive down the road, looking at those screens like it's a video game from the late 70's and 80's, the feel of the brake pedal is just horrible, you press the brake pedal and there's a huge amount of travel and it doesn't actually slow the car down. all.

Well, there is a decent amount of free space even though on the screen it looks like there isn't. I actually have at least a couple of inches and of course I can use one of these switches and it's hard to know which one to put. Sit tight, I'm giving it a little throttle here, the rpm display is going up, it's not fast, it sure was fast back then, I mean, it's not like it's lost much power, it must have miles on it, but the standards have changed . That's the difference if I saw one of these on the road and I don't think I've ever seen it before.

I would just lose it. I would absolutely lose it. It's like seeing an Enzo or an F50 or a Veyron. I'd turn around, follow the guy, yell at him if I saw a Veyron, I think I'd be less excited than if I saw one of these. What is this car? It is simply ridiculous in all its capacities. It drives reasonably well. This one feels very, very smooth and I can tell when I'm pulling it off and things in the video, it feels very smooth. This is fuel injected. The later cars were the carburetor ones, I imagine they are a little more difficult to follow. reasonably comfortable going over those train tracks, going over bad roads before, it feels reasonably comfortable, but it's certainly not a Rolls Royce, um, it doesn't have that level of comfort and yet it's not that fast, so I'm not really sure what an Aston is.

I was trying to look something up, I think the main benefit of this car today is that it is so rare that Rolls Royces from this period are literally a dime a dozen, you can buy one for five thousand dollars, but no one has one of these Yes, the address. It's actually a little more direct than I expected, the car feels more agile than I thought and it doesn't feel wide on the road. In fact I'm surprised it definitely handles a lot better than I thought, the body roll is there but not dramatically, the steering thickness is there but not like most 80's cars I've driven , it's better than that, the transmission is a weak point, I mean the four speed cars with torque converters, in today's world we just laugh that the Astons from the 60s are all very valuable now this one hasn't yet Had his day though it's going up.

I was looking at the auction results and noticed 109 some of them were selling for 20 30. this one is for sale for 95. this is getting more and more. the kind of numbers they're starting to put out, this is going to be a 100,000 car and one day we'll say, remember, when can you get a laganda for a reasonable price, and that's a 1987 aston martin lagonda series 3, one of the cars strangest and extravagant cars ever built I like all cars, but I tend to have a special weakness for unusual cars, the rare ones and if the world of strange cars were a country, Luganda would be its king and now is the time to give it a try Score dug starting with the weekend and style categories.

I like the way this car looks, but it's certainly not beautiful or attractive. The term I would use is surprising or maybe just strange and it gets a 4 out of 10.
