Overview

The Lagonda name has graced some of the most dramatic and technically adventurous cars in British automotive history, from the wedge-shaped Lagonda of the 1970s to the opulent 1980s V8 Lagonda. The modern Lagonda Taraf — unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show — continued this tradition as a bespoke, coachbuilt luxury sedan available exclusively to carefully selected clients in the Middle East.

Built in extremely limited numbers (approximately 200 units), the Taraf used the proven 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V-12 from the Vanquish paired with a long-wheelbase four-door body featuring extraordinary hand-crafted interior appointments. Silk headliners, precious wood veneers, and individually tailored leather were standard expectations rather than options.

For Azerbaijan’s collector market, the Lagonda Taraf represents one of the rarest Aston Martin-affiliated vehicles available. It is a genuine collector’s piece with historical significance as the brand’s most ambitious luxury sedan of the modern era.

Lagonda Collector Buying Checklist

Provenance: Verify build documentation and original purchaser records — rarity demands full provenance.
Interior condition: Inspect silk, leather, and wood veneers; restoration is specialist and costly.
Service history: Essential — there are very few workshops globally capable of full service.
Electrics: Test all bespoke interior functions thoroughly.
Customs: Ensure full import and registration documentation.

Should You Buy a Lagonda?

The Lagonda Taraf is a pure collector piece. If you want the rarest, most exclusive luxury sedan ever associated with the Aston Martin name, and are equipped to support specialist long-term care, it is incomparable.

For practical luxury motoring, a Rolls-Royce Ghost or Bentley Flying Spur offers a more established ownership ecosystem. The Lagonda is for those who value absolute uniqueness and historical significance above all else.
