I can't believe what you went through to recover this Lagonda. Not mechanically or even the trim, but to replicate the chassis appears to have been a superhuman task. I'm actually awestruck at what you've accomplished. Congratulations!
What an achievement, and how such a rare gem had been hidden from the car world for so long. It’s an absolute testimony to you for such an incredible restoration, David Brown is smiling down at you!
my comments on youtube are blocked so if you would be so kind as to repost thank you! didn't even know this automobile existed. it's lines are superb. the funds to restore such a piece are surely breathtaking! but with the cash available you have something that is possibly worth quite a bit more due to the rarity. beautiful job and i like the photo presentation. excluding the acting, dialogue, and joking, isn't that what we really want to watch? something about seeing the thing come back to life is very satisfying indeed.
There is nothing I can say but WOW!!! What a fabulous job you have done on this rare old bird. I have only ever seen one in my 67 years. Fabulous work and the attention to detail is commendable 👍👍👍
Absolutely stunning! I've restored a DB4 and DB6 for customers, and finally my own DBS is nearing the finish line. I commend you on your work. Only those who have dove into these cars know how difficult they can be. How you did all that on axle stands is beyond me! Thank you for saving a lovely and important Aston- the very first AM with a deDion back axle! Cheers
I fully agree: We used to work on classic Astons in our body shop. And honestly, seeing the "condition" this car was in I would have run away. It is incredible what was archieved here! And nearly noone watching this stuff has any idea of the amount of labour and skill required to save a car in this terrible state it was in. It is more than impressive to see how the car turned out!
Bloody AMAZING!! Your dedication to bringing this glorious motor back from the brink is utterly inspirational! Just goes to show that if you want something badly enough you can do it. And you’ve saved a highpoint in British motoring history for future generations. And what surprises me more than anything is, you obviously didn’t cut one single corner! You, sir are a gentleman and a scholar. 😊👍🏻
My deepest respect for the incredible work you did there - no car *needs* to go to the scrap yard! No need for footage - the fotos are great. Would have been nice to see the beauty drive on the road though!
Fantastic to see one of these restored. Well Done. I still have an original sales brochure for the Lagonda Rapide. I could scan and email it if you don't have one yourself already.
Wow - what an absolutely incredible job - I felt quite emotional watching this toward the end. This really is one of my favourite cars and I just cant believe how brave you were to undertake this - your skill and tennacity is just on another level. The finished car is just absolutely stunning. Cheers Stew
that is a truly impressive piece of work and in what appears to be a fairly modest work environment. The difference with an owner handing it over to a specialist and throwing loads of money at it must make the sentimental value immeasurable. ps now that guy is the 'specialist'.
Well done, mate, this beautiful piece of British history brought back to life 👏 you should be well proud of yourself all that helped with parts ,fabrication,prep, and paint absolutely magnificent your poor young family must have missed you loads with all the nights and weekends spent on this I am sure they are just as proud of your achievement although I bet you hid a few bills from her...😅 still fantastic job, I am a JAG man myself, but getting to restore a classic Aston would be right up there for me so again we'll done mate I applaud your hard work dedication and effort it's people like you that keep our heritage and craft alive bless you sir...👍
Thank you, my family did see me sometimes 😅. I’m actually restoring a Jaguar XJ-SC right now and really enjoying it - the last affordable (kind of) proper classic.
It's not criminal. If you pay the aaking price of a vehicle, you can do what you want with it, including letting it rot and then scrapping it. Also, it is an inanimate object. It can be shredded and scrapped or restored. It doesn't *deaerve* anything. You are treating it like a sentient being with feelings.
Stunning. You took on a project that only a brave person would embark on. I shudder at the amount of work involved. You are obviously very skilled at bodywork too. You have turned a sow's ear in to a silk purse. What a beautiful car that you have saved, an extremely rare and desirable manual too. You must be extremely satisfied with the results of your hard work. Kudos and well done Sir!

Very satisfying video ,to watch the gradual transformation from neglected heap, to a beautiful example of supreme motoring. Brilliant effort. Inspiring
Very very nice, all the right badges, all the right names. I never knew this existed either. I have helped restore a few things back in the day, as a sprayer, including an almost barn find TR6, but nothing this far gone. I love that it’s a saloon and so elegant and above all, that it’s an Aston! Thanks for doing it and for sharing. Let’s see some on the road videos! Maybe reach out and get Number 27, or Harry’s Garage to review it?
I am in awe in the workmanship put into this car. The fabrication involved is mind-blowing. But what a beauty. How does it drive? I would like to see a video of that. The grill reminds me of the Edsel, but Aston-Martin got it right.
I remember a Maserati 3500 Granturismo with a Touring superleggera body. My Grandpa used to own one. Thirty years later I discovered an empty shell of a body in a field. The aluminium skin looked good, but the steel underneath was basicly gone. It was a completely lost cause. But since then I know how much is required to rebuild a body of this kind. Honestly I did not believe this Lagonda could be saved at first. It makes me all the happier to see the stunning result: Congratulation!
Congratulations on this amazing achievement, I'm just full of respect! It's so refreshing to see so much good being done against the background of the world the way it is.
Great rare project and what a result. So nice to see this being done "privately" rather than some rich guy picking it up and a nuts and bolt restoration done by some well known garage. Fantastic. Thanks.
GREAT JOB ... your patience should be rewarded ... truly a transformation if I've ever seen one here it is ... what a stunner of a car ... just could not put a price on this beautiful car ... well done all who helped to bring this great car back to life.
What a wonderful restoration. I owned a Rapide many years ago, number 16, and I remember working on those awful offset universal joints on the back axle, always out of skew. Complete admiration for what you have done.
I restored a 1973 Austin Mini right down to the bones so I really appreciate your required effort to complete this restoration. Good job man. From Canada.
Thank you so much for saving this beauty. I drove a 4 speed manual Rapide just like this in the 1970's for an industrialist who was an Aston fan, (we also had DB5's & Db6's including a Volante or two) including a trip to Megeve in the sking season. It was British racing Green with a red interior. After a year or so we fell out over something unrelated and when I returned a year later I discovered it had gone. Apparently, it was put in for a service at a garage in Beaulieu down in the New Forest, Hants where, on being taken for a test drive by a mechanic it caught fire and was abandoned in a field. Such a shame, it really was a head-turner even in those days. I often wish I could find another. One incident happened on the way back into the UK when a customs officer mistook it for a Facel Vega and wanted to charge duty if I was carrying spares bought abroad. I very quickly put him right on that.

When I first saw how this beautiful car had been treated I was outraged. Congratulations on having the skill and determination to save it. You must show it to the world (&me!).
What an amazing story. There’s some incredible fabrication skills went into that. And while I personally couldn’t call it a good looking car, IMHO, it’s obviously an extremely significant one. I’ve seen more chooks with teeth than examples of this car. Lagondas have never been commonplace. I don’t normally comment on videos like this but I was hooked as soon as I saw it in its dilapidated state. What a great effort. I’m amazed you got it done so quickly. Congratulations.
it's incredible, and in my mind even criminal, that people let rot away cars like this. Thank you and many congratulations for this wonderfull work !!!
Wow! I think it would've been easier to build one from scratch. lol! When I saw all that rusted out (and missing!) undercarriage, I thought, there's no way this can come back. I can only imagine the countless hours of work you put into it. But the results are stunning, congrats! It's beautiful.
I have really no words , other than you brought back from a certain grave this astounding example of the Quintessentially British Automobile ! Nobody Made Them Better ! From Britain with Love !
I'm knocked out by this! What an epic transformation! It's wonderful how such an incredible work of art that is this car has now been given a second chance. What you've done is not only awesome, but inspiring too. No effort can be too great when such a brilliant result awaits. My compliments to you and all the best to you and your family.

Now all you have to do is drive that beauty down the road & all heads will turn. I hope you have many years of joyful driving your Aston Martin Lagonda.👍👏👏👏
I am astonished at the complexity of the sheer challenge involved plus all the hard work and trying to source parts and the $$$ cost combined with a high degree of skill plus tenacity and stamina. Hats off I salute you sir
