simkna Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 There's one for sale here... Aston Martin Lagonda Shooting Brake for sale, classic cars for sale uk (Car: 58042) Who knew? Si. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I love that old Lagonda shape. It was/is fantastic. However, the lovely V8 growl it produces is slightly out of character (needs to be a bit quieter for that car). Not sure about the shooting brake version. Wasn't that a typical Sultan of Brunei special? To carry one's falcons around??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Lovely old thing, if a bit 'Sultan of Brunei' as Cruiser rightly says... I particularly like the "tightening mechanism for the rear flap", every car should have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 That is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I thought this would be a thread about reccomending a fast estate car, my pick would have been one of the top end Saab 9-5 estates. With the ammount of room the Lagonda has in the boot, I'd class it as a shooting break. Jag XJS shooting break anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? M5, RS4 and RS6 are just a little bit warmer than any production Saab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Why? M5, RS4 and RS6 are just a little bit warmer than any production Saab Saabs are supremely confortable places to be and have a charm of their own. The turbo delivers oodles of power for overtaking and you could probably get a big discount on one too but I'd rather talk about rare and interesting shooting breaks/estates in this thread.

JonC Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 That is one seriously long car - longer than my 5.2m Navara! The overhangs are obscene. Quite like it though, in a retro-curosity kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teacake Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I thought this would be a thread about reccomending a fast estate car, my pick would have been one of the top end Saab 9-5 estates. Ooh no. I've got one (the 250 Aero HOT), and just no. It's comfortable but it's not a fast anything except maybe in a straight line on a perfectly flat dry road as long as your biceps are strong enough to catch the torque steer. Back to the Lagonda, when the time comes I think I've found the hearse I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
