The Aston Martin Lagonda models of the 1970s were vastly ahead of their time… for good and bad. The good? Well, the vehicles were equipped with revolutionary features including electronic computers and CTR gauges that would one day become the industry standard.

The bad? Well, these electronics didn’t often work well. In fact, they were pretty unreliable. In other words, the Lagonda was like many pioneers, a trailblazer that barely walked so vehicles of the future could run.
