Lagonda Limousine

by Tickford (1984)

Following on from the Tickford Lagonda, in 1984, the long-wheelbase version was unveiled by Tickford, the engineering division of AML. Whilst the standard car cost £66,000, the long version was exceedingly expensive at a massive £110,000 - that's £4,400 per inch of extra legroom. The long version car is easy to identify as the window glass in the rear door is divided vertically, the rear section is fixed, the front is electrically operated. Only four examples are believed to have been made, three LHD and a single RHD.

I first saw this example in 1996 when it was German registered. I caught up with it again in 2005 when it had been re-registered in Latvia. The rear view shows that the limousine must have increased rear headroom over the standard car.

This single example of a RHD limousine was built for HRH Prince Abdulaziz Bin Fahd Abdulaziz. Finished in pearlescent white and featuring the full Tickford bodykit, this is a unique and extremely eye catching car with real road presence.
