You mean their rather angular luxury saloon?
I've seen two. The first time was when I went to see the Road & Track
Challenge Trophy at Lime Rock several years ago. There was an Aston
Martin team there (no, I _wasn't_ dreaming!). I think it was basically
a team from the Aston dealer down in Greenwich, Connecticut. They
had their Aston Martin Vantage race car, a Volante dhc, a Lagonda saloon
and a couple of Range Rovers for their crew. The second and last Lagonda
saloon I've seen was when I attended USENIX in Anaheim, California a
couple of years ago. After exiting the main airport building (the
airport at Orange County -- Wayne, I think), there was this absolutely,
drop-dead, gorgeous blonde lady stepping out of a perfect, jet-black
Lagonda parked against the curb (illegally I think!). After picking
my jaw up from the pavement, I said to a workmate, "Yup, _this_ must be
California..."
It must have been LBC Show weekend, judging by a couple of reports.
It was also British Car day at Manchester, Connecticut on Sunday.
Unfortunately I missed it. The next show in the area is at Indian
Wells, Shelton, Connecticut. Sometime in October, I think.
Cheers!
