I really liked those Aston-Martin Lagonda's in their day but they look a little flat now.
Obviously that Bentley was pre-emissions by the looks of the dung on the road

Hi bb, for once I have to disagree with you. This Aston Martin Lagonda was styled by William Towns and was meant to be a 'sports saloon' and an alternative to the contemporary Rolls Royce and Bentley of the period. It missed its mark badly.
It was beset by huge digital instrument functions problems right from the beginning, and it just about brought Aston Martin to its knees. Saleswise, it was a total failure.
Considerable criticism was levelled at the lack of legroom in the back, and the interior styling and the shapes of seats and fittings remind me of an assembly associated with Lego. Rarity is certainly its forte, but as to how one would keep it running would be another matter.
Hi Des, friends of yours Did you sign up for that warranty deal that is being offered on purchases over $3000.00 ? I have to agree with Michel - I marvel at where you get your pictures from - or I should say, how you find them so readily. Regards, Styria

This vehicle is reminiscent of a lot of European expensive (at the time) cars built in the 80s.
The manufacturers were all after a quick buck but ended up building dubious machines that had nothing but problems mechanically, were badly put together and had generally a poor finish.
Think Lagonda....
Think Fiat 130
Think Ferrari 400
and to an extent.....
Think Rolls Royce Camargue
