Oh, that's right, the Bulldog is NOT what I saw in Cambridge; that
would have been their executive limo-sized 4-door, which I guess
they were calling the Lagonda. From what I remember of the Bulldog
from pictures, it looked sort of like a squashed pyramid to me.
Almost symmetrical front-to-back.

Anyway, if anyone keeps back issues of Road & Track, I think R&T
put it on their cover many many years ago.
