Even for a high-roller, keeping this on the road will be tough. Have you got anyone lined up to work on it for you?

Which model?

I can't help but drool over some of their modern day cars. I've never had the opportunity to see one in person though (wrong side of the pond).

No idea, but it must have been one of the post 92 ones. I looked at their website and they all seem the same. All I can tell you is that it was small, and that I entered from the drivers side and had to climb over a gigantic hump before falling into the well that was the seat compartment. Acceleration felt like a rocket and the car felt like little more than a wheel, seats and a big engine.

I'd really enjoy a TVR, but it might get slightly edged out, stylistically, by this:

It (TVR) may not survive a crash, but it's still an unconventional and crazy car....one in which I wish I could get my hands on.

Haven't been sold in US for a few decades -- emissions reasons among others.

I think the Lagonda should be pinned on every automobile designers desk for an example of everything that can possibly go wrong with automobile design.

It's as if someone took a Delorean and decided to try to turn it into a stretched "luxury" boat and rather than looking timeless it just looks dated.
