@cascadiaclassic: The Aston Martin Lagonda was a hand-built luxury four-door saloon produced in the United Kingdom between 1974 and 1990, with 645 units built. While the short-lived Series 1 was essentially a lengthened four-door Aston Martin V8, the iconic 1976 Series 2 debuted a radical, ultra-low wedge shape designed by William Towns.   Under its long hood sat a 5.3-liter V8 engine paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The car made history as the first production vehicle to feature a fully digital dashboard, using cutting-edge LED displays, touch-sensitive switches, and later cathode-ray tube screens and a multi-lingual voice synthesizer.   The vehicle commanded a astronomical price tag, rivaling contemporary Rolls-Royce models and finding major popularity in the Middle East. Despite its striking visual presence, the ambitious onboard electronics proved notoriously unreliable and costly to develop. The model evolved through four distinct series, swapping pop-up headlights for fixed lenses in its final iteration before production ended. #astonmartin #britishcars #projectcar #carsoftiktokcontest
