Vehicle Detail

Here is something you don't see every day, a 1955 Aston Martin Lagonda 3 Litre Saloon. I think most of these have been scrapped for their mechanicals over the years so it is unusual to see one in running condition. This example evidently lived in Zimbabwe where it was used by a physician in making his rounds. The car is in good, solid classic driver condition. It looks very dry underneath, probably due in part to its stint in Africa. This is not a rotten hulk as most of these seem to be. It runs and drives very well. The paint is weak but looks good from 25 feet away. There are minor dings here and there and cracking to the paint as shown in the photos. The interior is actually very nice except for the ugly carpet which should be replaced. Otherwise, it has a very nice feel and smell inside. The engine number matches the data plate. A few years ago we did a brake job on this vehicle which is not minor as it has inboard rear brakes. This is a good classic DB Aston Martin Lagonda car for not a lot of money. Please call us on (530)241-8337 if you have any questions. Any and all reasonable offers will be relayed to the owner.
