An uber rare Aston Martin Lagonda S4 is up for sale, with only 105 made, its gonna be a great buy.

  • One of only 105 Series 4 Lagondas manufactured by Aston Martin, listed for £95,000
  • This futuristic and innovative Lagonda is presented with just 20,340 miles on the clock
  • The Lagonda measures over five metres long and features a striking exterior and futuristic cabin
An incredibly rare 1991 Series 4 Aston Martin Lagonda saloon is being offered for sale by specialist supercar sales and service agents, SVR.
Celebrating its 25th birthday, this Lagonda is one of only just 105 made during the three-year production run of the Series 4 model. A then-departure from the British marque’s two-seat sportscars, this model is offered with just 20,340 miles on the clock.
One of the most striking features is the square dashboard, with the Lagonda the world’s first production car to feature computer management and a digital instrumentation panel. 

This particular Lagonda features the upgraded fuel injection system for its 5.2 litre V8 powerplant, allowing for a more user-friendly and efficient power delivery.
The final run of Lagondas to be produced, the Series 4 was introduced at the 1987 Geneva Motor Show, featuring slight alterations by the car’s original designer, William Towns. These included the rounding of the car’s sharp edges and the pop-up headlights replaced with the iconic triple stack arrangement, either side of the grille, the most obvious changes.
This extremely rare Lagonda – the last model to carry the name of Aston Martin’s luxury brand until the limited-run Lagonda Taraf was released in 2014 – is finished in royal blue bodywork with a cream leather and ash interior and also features cruise control, electric door mirrors and windows and a rear sunroof.

Time Warp pre production 1991 Ford Granada Scorpio to go under the hammer by Classic Car Auctions.

  • A pre-production 1991 Ford Granada Scorpio with just 1,325 miles on the clock, will be offered at auction by CCA.
  • The car has been in storage for over two decades and been preserved in excellent condition.
  • The car narrowly avoided scrappage thanks to its owner, making it an exceptionally rare find on the market.
A pre-production 1991 Ford Granada Scorpio, used exclusively by Ford for training purposes, will be offered at auction by Classic Car Auctions (CCA) on 3rd December at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre.
An incredibly rare find, the car was saved from destruction by its current owner with just 1,325 miles on the clock, and has spent almost all of its life in dry, heated storage having never been road registered.

The right-hand drive, automatic 24V example was built by Ford and donated to a technical college in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to be used for the training of technicians before the production model was launched to the open market.
After a stint in Belfast, the car then visited numerous colleges across Country Antrim as it continued its career as a test vehicle. Once training phases were completed, the car was put into a storage facility.
Training cars were usually scrapped at this stage, but this car, with its demanding technical specification, remained in storage for a number of years.  However, when the current owner, a lecturer at the college, heard that it had been scheduled for disposal, he stepped in to take ownership of the car and save it from being destroyed.
“When I heard the car was going to be destroyed I just couldn’t let it happen,” explains the car’s owner. “It’s in stunning condition and has barely been used. I planned to keep the car forever, but a change in my circumstances means that, sadly, I have to let it go. I’m hoping another Ford fanatic, like myself, will give the car a good home.”
Today, after years of careful preservation, the car appears to be in incredible ‘time-warp’ condition. An inspection of the car reveals that all electrical items are fully functioning, with the interior and exterior looking 'as new', commensurate with its tiny mileage.
Presented in stunning black with a black leather interior, this unique Ford will be offered at ‘No Reserve’ when it goes to auction.
“This car has spent almost all of its life preserved in heated, dry storage and has an unbelievably low mileage for a car that’s 25 years old,” comments Guy-Lees Milne, auctions manager at CCA. “Ford fans and collectors won’t find another pre-production, training car out there in this condition on the market.”
