There are car collectors, and obviously there are gentlemen. What an outstanding person, very very nice and friendly, just love his attitude. Thanks for this.
How I would love to take a slow slow walk though that garage and just enjoy the designs of the cars. Especialy those extreme Astons. They are really something. Just seen one in real life. 😁
He’s got a fantastic car collection but unlike everyone else who has a collection like this, this man knows what he’s talking about, I have immense respect for this man.
I could spend an eternity looking over these cars. Each of these motors will have a story to tell, historic capsules in time. The wonder of how you amass such a varied collection of cars is only slightly less perplexing than the fact that most of these items will never see the light of day again. This collection proves that you never really own anything, you are simply a custodian for the next generation. Saying that, the present custodian seems like a lovely geezer.
What an absolute pillar to our madness, the love is real and is there is no better place to get lost than in nostalgia. He and his collection are a wonder. Thank you for sharing.
I love the Lagonda (albeit not the last series with the changed front). They were introduced when I was in my teens and I loved them from the start! WHAT a car! I loved (and love) other wedges as well, like the seventies Lotus Esprit and Elite, and yes, even the TR7. And what a great man that is! Truly wonderful.
I LOVE a Bloke that loves the Lagonda Wedge - it's been my dream car since I was 11yrs old....But, they don't seem like any are in a space to be driven of the 23 or so that he has.....Poor Babies.....GREAT Chap....
I have to say I really enjoyed this clip. Lagonda is my favourite car, along with Vector W8, and seeing that this gentleman has 23 of them just blew me away. Would love to take one for a spin. Hope it won't brake. :)
Kellington Link Kellington Link you’ll probably hate me for this. I love the AM Lagonda! When I first saw one in the late seventies growing up in Dallas, TX I saw one and was astonished at the razor lines, the electric display panels (ewwww) and the headlights. Today I would love to buy one and do a complete resto-mod. I’d give it new brakes, a reliable & powerful engine (probably an LS or Coyote), new transmission, and completely new top-to bottom electrics replacement, and lastly I’d give her a new dash display. The gee whiz display would be gone as well as the dash board of toggle switches. Then she would get a name, like Amanda May Brown (if it was a brown Aston). -David
I must be crazy then, I love the Lagonda, but unfortunately I can't afford even one. They make a big deal about how the Lagonda is so unreliable due to the electrics, most if not all of the problems can be sorted out with todays technology during a restore. Its a beautiful car, the Lagonda along with the V8 zagato and the Aston Martin version of the Toyota IQ happens to be some of my favorites from Aston Martin
I have a rat bag collection... without all the toff ....we dont live long on our planet.. it is short...... these cars will out live all of us, and I love it.. great upload thanx so much to feed my mad addiction of car ...desease.. how ever ..................coming soon
Anyone else have super mixed feelings on this? These cars are gorgeous and brilliant, and yet nobody gets to see them. As you said, you have 1 day of exclusive access. But at the very least they're preserved
Around '79 - '80 I went on a walkaround tour of Aston Martin factory and when we got to the maintenance section there was a Lagonda that was an obvious write off. We were then asked us to look closely and we thought it was because of the ghastly gold body colour aligned with a purple exterior. Instead it was because there was only 13 miles on the clock. He then went on to explain that an arab prince had bought it and on delivery in the Emirates he was proudly showing it to his friends and crashed it because he thought that because it was an automatic it would steer itself!
What an amazing collection but also a shame it's not open to public. I understand that it's not easy to have a museum but the Schlumpf collection for example is so cool! Just go around and see cars you never knew existed... This still is kind off a shame in my eyes to have these cars locked away. But at least they look like they're well taken care of!
@@EbrahimSaadawii Not true. A great number of the cars are on trickle chargers and are immediately drivable; many of them daily. You will see many of Rodger's cars starring in films/movies.
BTW not the largest private car collection but surely a preview of things to come, fossil fuel cars on static display as these will no longer be allowed on public roads within 15 years time !!!
He asked if its a crime to keep cars like this in a huge wearhouse, i say NO,l perople after hundrends of hundreds of Years will apriciate the old ferraris and all these prestime condition cars because a LOT Of them are Really rare and they will be rare as a Raf Latvija Car Vagoon in California, there is NAN ! Soo jeah.
