	~~Warranty options~~ and ~~scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here~~.		The Lagonda was an underdeveloped car and many electrics are really problematic. The problems include a breakdown of units of the dashboard, the headlights stop popping up but worst of all, the floorpan rusted in an instant.

	'''~~Use the following MODEL TEMPLATE as the foundation for the Wikicars' Model page:~~'''		The '''Aston Martin Lagonda''' was a luxury four-door [[sedan\|sedan]] (saloon) built by [[Aston Martin]] of Newport Pagnell, England, between 1976 and 1989. 645 examples of this model were produced and the average selling price was £150,000.

	~~Start off with a brief Introduction~~ to the ~~particular MODEL~~. ~~Please DO NOT use the same Introduction text from the~~ [[~~Wikicars:Model Review Template~~\|~~<MODEL> Review~~]] ~~page~~, but ~~rather paraphrase ideas relevant to grasp an overall scope of~~ the [[~~automobile\|vehicle~~]].		[[Aston Martin]] was about to go out of business in the mid-1970s and needed something to bring in some much-needed funds. Traditionally, Aston Martin had worked on [[2 plus 2\|2+2]] [[sports cars]], but the Lagonda — the model being named after a grand sporting marque — was a four-door saloon with a brand new [[V8]] engine. As soon as it was introduced, it drew in hundreds of deposits from potential customers, helping Aston Martin's cash reserves.

	''~~'Please include~~ the ~~following line at~~ the ~~bottom~~ of ~~this section~~. ~~Please replace~~ [[~~Wikicars:Model Review Template~~\|~~<MODEL> Review~~]] ~~with~~ the ~~proper text~~:~~'''~~		The car was designed by [[William Towns]] in an extreme interpretation of the classic 1970s "folded paper" style. It was as unconventional a design then as it is now. Car enthusiasts are fiercely divided on the car's aesthetic value.

			Throughout the history of the marque, these hand-built Lagondas were amongst the most expensive saloons in the world. The only other "production" cars to approach its lofty price tag were the [[Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit]]/Silver Spur, [[Bentley Mulsanne]], and [[Maserati Quattroporte]].

			A number of "series" were produced during the lifetime of the model, including a facelift in the 1980s which attempted to round off the car's razor-like lines and removed the troublesome pop-up [[headlights]], which had proved unreliable.

			The Lagonda was the first production car in the world to use computer management and a digital instrument panel, although the computers in many of the original cars are failure-prone. The development cost for the electronics alone on the Lagonda came to 4 times as much as the budget for the whole car. The second series used cathode ray tubes for the instrumentation, which proved even less reliable than the original model's LED display.

			The Lagonda's striking design and opulent, club-like leather interior, together with its then-state-of-the-art instrumentation, contrasted starkly with its decidedly "old world" 4-cam V-8 [[carburetor\|carbureted]] engine and [[Chrysler]] 3-speed "[[TorqueFlite]]" [[automatic transmission]]; the latter two combining to provide a poor, often single-digit miles-per-gallon rating.

			Special variations of the series included:

			* Rapide (a two-door, short wheelbase version)
			* [[Tickford]] [[limousine]]
			* Estate
