How big are your cajones?!

[ClaphamGT3]

I cannot begin to tell you how tempting this is;

So wrong and yet, somehow, so right!

[V8 FOU]

Noooooo......
Yuk yuk yuk. Been in storage for 2005 years he says too.....

So very,very wrong.....

[The Surveyor]

Love it, so very wrong indeed but it has so much presence..... Love it

[andyps]

Not wrong at all, get it bought and back on the road!

[benjj]

Absolutely love them. My father had one as I was finishing primary school, loved jumping around in the back of it, so plush.

There's a scrappy near here in deepest rural France who has one in a shed on the site.
If I didn't already have the 6 litre XJS I think I would try the size of my cojones...

"got some wood?" Lol "cajones", lol

[MitchT]

I would. But only if I had very deep pockets!

I saw this Lagonda on eBay and I was going to start exactly the same thread. Personally, I don't have anywhere near enough money to resolve this but I've always been smitten by the early pre-facelift styling since I saw a black one at the entrance to the Beaulieu Motor Museum when I was a teenager. The factory even did a turbocharged prototype of this back when the Bulldog was about so you know what to do.

Oh f*ck it - you're a long time dead.

I think the plan will be to get it mechanically/structurally bang-on with as little cosmetic fettling as I can get away with.

See - in my mind I've bought the b*stard already

Hi there,

We looked closely into buying one of these in the 90's at the time we had run a succession of RR Silver Shadows.

I don't remember all the bits and pieces I learnt at the time but in case you didn't know from the pictures that car is early enough that it has fixed rear windows which would also mean the 'moon roof' is fixed too. This may not bother you but that means you are reliant therefore on ventilation from the front windows and making sure the aircon works properly. Also as well as the boot being quite shallow the rear lights are repeated on the underside of the bootlid which robs yet more space if you wanted to take luggage for 4 etc.,..

Don't get me wrong I love them but at the time I was tasked with finding a regular driver for my dad but head ruled heart and we ended up buying what was at the time probably the best Silver Shadow II in the UK.

I am not trying to put you off it is just I know from experience not many people realise about the fixed windows and other foibles.

HTH

Didnt someone come on here and show some of the bills that they had for one?

seemed to remember it being into the 6 figures and this was daily running, not a restoration.

Isn't that a Cajon Drum?

[RobinSherwood]

Sorry just to put my previous comments into perspective I should have said in my first post to put this into context I have owned a car since 1998 that takes the proverbial cajones to own. A Maserati Bora.......

[S0 What]

I never knew that.

It would be a great car to buy, but I think you'd need a lot more than the purchase price to run it. I'm not brave enough.

[slevin911]

Well if you are going to Ireland how about this?
