Dedicated to the Aston Martin Lagonda
I bought a 1980 Aston Martin Lagonda on impulse in 1995, and endeavoured to use it on a daily basis.
In the first six years it covered about 60,000 miles with me, much of which was commuting in heavy traffic between Bedfordshire and London.
The car was inspected by the Factory Works Service Department shortly after purchase, and they carried out any necessary remedial work. Regular maintenance and servicing was entrusted to them, the intention being to make the car as reliable as possible, and with their help this was achieved.
These cars are not worth a lot monetarily, but they are a pleasure to drive and I would recommend ownership to anyone.
My enthusiasm for the car led me to join the Aston Martin Owners Club (AMOC) and the Lagonda Club. If you have a Lagonda then membership of AMOC, or of both clubs, is worthwhile. My interest, or is it obsession, also developed into a project to compile a complete register and archive of these cars, and resulted in a website and forum.
In the summer of 2001, I sadly parted company with 13049, but a year later I bought it back, and ended its brief sojourn in Cornwall.
I sold my car in 2025 and have transferred most of the information from the website to the Lagondanet Facebook Group, which you are welcome to visit and join. The LagondaNet Forum is also still available.
