William Towns’ wedge-shaped Aston Martin Lagonda provides an unusual starting point for a shooting brake. This 1987 Series 3 takes that design into bespoke coachbuilt territory, with a conversion by Swiss Aston Martin specialist Roos Engineering. Finished in Antrim Blue over Grey Connolly leather and Alcantara, it will cross the block without reserve at Broad Arrow’s Zürich Auction.

First registered in Switzerland on March 27, 1987, the car began as one of just 76 Series 3 Lagondas. Its owner acquired it in 1996 and commissioned Beat Roos and his team to undertake the transformation, completed in 2000. Aston Martin approved the project and supplied components, giving this particular conversion a documented connection to the factory. The original overall length was retained to preserve its registration and avoid a new homologation process.

The work extended beyond the roofline and tailgate. Roos rebuilt the engine and automatic transmission, replaced the engine-management computer and renewed the electrical system. Bespoke rear dampers accommodated the revised configuration, while custom glass and carpeting completed the new luggage compartment. Additional rear lights remain visible with the tailgate raised, and a dedicated system was installed to prevent exhaust gases entering the cabin when it is open.

The fuel-injected 5.3-liter V8 preserves the Lagonda’s original mechanical character, while the extended roof adds useful carrying space to its angular profile. Accompanied by a build book and invoices documenting the conversion, this is a particularly individual take on the British luxury shooting brake. Broad Arrow’s estimate is CHF 250,000–350,000, with the car offered without reserve on November 7.
