2016 Lagonda Taraf - Nicholas Mee & Company, Aston Martin Specialists

Published 10th March 2021. The Lagonda Taraf, introduced at the Geneva International Motor Show in 2015, a super saloon firmly aimed at the Ultra Luxury market and undoubtedly for extremely limited production. When launched the Taraf carried a price tag of a $1 million excluding taxes and was by far most expensive saloon available, in the day. Styled by Aston Martin’s renowned Gaydon studios, under the guidance of design director Marek Reichman and hand-built, in a dedicated facility, previously given over to the creation of the One-77 hypercar, the quite spectacular Lagonda Taraf, manages to be both perfectly proportioned and sculpturally sophisticated, whilst simultaneously being both spectacular and yet, restrained. The unique bodywork of this elegant super limousine is formed from Carbon Fibre and Aluminium. Constructed on Aston Martins highly adaptable all aluminium VH chassis architecture, configured for the Lagonda Taraf’s extensive wheelbase, creating a spacious and sumptuous rear compartment, capable of carrying its occupant’s in great comfort. Powered by the legendary Aston Martin V12 engine, producing a mighty 540 BHP, transmitted through Aston Martin’s unique 8 speed TT3 automatic transaxle gearbox, the specification combines. to provide a top speed in excess of 190 mph with 0-60 mph arriving in 4.4 seconds. Beautifully finished in Onyx Black metallic paintwork with a Winter Wheat and Obsidian Black Caithness hide Interior, the luxurious and comprehensive equipment of the Taraf, is further complemented by a Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 1,000W audio system and a refrigerated rear stowage compartment, whilst distinctive Tamo Ash wood veneered door and facia finishers and twin rear entertainment screens, complete the refined interior specifications. Built in 2016, in Left Hand Drive configuration, the Lagonda Taraf is in all probability, the last Lagonda model to be built and powered by the internal combustion engine and is therefore something of a landmark in the long and illustrious history of Lagonda motor cars, the company having been founded in 1906. No longer available to order, we understand less than 60 examples were manufactured before production ceased, of which this unmarked example, is one. Available having covered only 150 Kilometres from new, this imposing and exclusive ‘super sports saloon’, is indistinguishable from new and is certain, to create a wave of interest, when and wherever, it arrives. Available now at our Hertfordshire showrooms. Full details available here: https://www.nicholasmee.co.uk/car-sal...​

Ultimate 'Ford Escort' rally car recreation - MST Mk1 driven 50 years after historic RAC rally win
  • The MST Mk1 is not, legally or by name at least, a mk1 Ford Escort. But materially and mechanically it's a close match for the formative, 1970s-era, competition-specification version of one of the most famous rally cars there has ever been; and it's both brand new and road-legal. Built by Motorsport Tools of Pwllheli, it's the work of a company that has spent years supporting, repairing and restoring historic mk1 and mk2 Escort rally cars. It exists in order to supply those who want a more habitable and usable, but still authentic-feeling, brand-new-and-yet-still-classic mk1 Escort with a car they can enjoy on the road as often as they like. Built out of a mix of MST's own specially designed chassis and body stampings, and competition-grade axles and driveline components of the sort you'd find on a historic rally car, the MST Mk1 is powered by a 2.0-litre, 260bhp Cosworth 'BDG' racing engine of the same family that powered Ford's 1970s rallying Escorts, which revs beyond 8000rpm and sounds ear-splittingly shrill. Our man Matt Saunders found out exactly that on roads close to the Escort's glory-days forest rally stages in Snowdonia, North Wales. Ear plugs at the ready, folks.
