Had to go wash out my eyes in the Mayfair Hotel afterwards. Awful for an AML fan to see...

Don't like the colour, but I like the car.

LHD.
It's ok,bit of a statement.
They could have made a better effort,bit of a mish mash,and apparently the boot space isn't that great.

I love the car, but it's hard to justify the price when it uses the same interior as a Vanquish costing 1/3 as much.

I think it looks epic!...I'd love to see one in the metal, on the street.
It is though, most definitely, form over function...

personal preference?
perceived status?
rarity?
Not wanting to get confused with DB9s, DBSs, V8's, V12's and Vanquishs....

It is not that bad. When I saw it at Burghley it made me taste again the delicious meal I had eaten in The Crown the night before wink

I love that it divides opinion so much.

I personally love the front end design and the look of the back end. the C-Pillar area is a bit awkward but that's the only way they could get more room in the back.

The front end is absolutely stunning to me, and looks 10x better than the front of Rapide S with its massive gopping grille.

I think this sports back is more elegant and more useful.

Hen's teeth mate! 6 out of 600 at Burghley! 4 out of 240 the previous time - or maybe they are all anti-social introverts wink

Wish I'd taken a few more pics of that gold Lagonda as it intrigued me but just gave me a zero 'wow' factor and that really seems a bit mean. The previous William Towns Lagonda still knocks the wind out of me every time I see one. In fact I think I actually really really want one which is quite absurd as I'm sure it would bankrupt me... Still...

Any more info on that please.

Anyone else think of a Volvo P 1800 when you first look at it ?

I sat in it at burghley and there is way more room in the back than the rapide. The seats are a bit firm, but is nice inside. Not worth the price though.
