Aston extends Lagonda production

Affluent in Austria? Moneyed in Malaysia? Prosperous in Portugal? Lagondas are now available!

---

There was always a sneaking suspicion this might happen. Aston's Lagonda Taraf saloon was only ever intended for sale in the Middle East, a decision Aston has reneged on just ahead of the Geneva show. Funny that...

Oh yes, UK cars are available too

Big saloons are still big business in many markets outside the Middle East and so the move to expand sales is a logical one. Among the list of 25 countries are Hong Kong, Monaco, Switzerland, Singapore and the UK. Right and left-hand drive Lagondas will be available but the production run is still limited to 200 cars. Best get the deposit in swiftly!

Aston's boss Andy Palmer described the move on Lagonda production as a "high priority" for him on joining the company. Like the Vantage GT3 and Vulcan, the Lagonda will be sold through Aston's VIP sales programme with "precise pricing details remaining confidential. But of course.

Considering the unique exterior I found the interior to be too much 'standard Aston' - I suppose you can't develop a whole new inside for a run of 200 cars.
