- The one-off Lagonda conversion will cross the block in Zürich on 7 November without reserve.

- Its fuel-injected V8 produces approximately 227kW, while Roos Engineering rebuilt the engine and transmission.
The Aston Martin Lagonda was hardly short of visual drama, but this one-off shooting brake turns the wedge-shaped saloon into something stranger and more practical.
Broad Arrow will offer the 1987 Series 3 at its Zürich Auction on 7 November 2026. It carries an estimate of CHF 250,000 to CHF 350,000 and will be sold without reserve, meaning the highest bid should take it home regardless of price.
A rare Lagonda, made rarer
The car began life as one of 76 Series 3 Lagondas, identified by chassis number SCFDL01S4HTL13511. It retains the model’s fuel-injected V8, listed with 305hp (approximately 227kW), and is finished in Antrim Blue over a Grey Connolly leather cabin.
Its transformation was entrusted to Aston Martin specialist Roos Engineering. Conducted between 1996 and 2000, the conversion was completed with Aston Martin’s approval and used factory parts where available.
The result preserves the Lagonda’s low, angular nose while extending its roof into a long, glassy cargo area. Custom glass helps form the new profile, making the already scarce Series 3 instantly distinguishable from its saloon siblings.
More than a body conversion
Roos did considerably more than reshape the rear of the car. The project included a rebuilt engine and transmission, updated engine management and electrical systems, and bespoke rear dampers to suit the altered body.
An unusual safety measure was also engineered into the tailgate. The system is designed to guard against exhaust gases entering the cabin when the rear hatch is open, a detail that underlines how comprehensively the conversion was developed.
That blend of official approval, specialist engineering and singular bodywork gives the car an identity beyond a simple coachbuilt curiosity.
Its auction estimate will now test how strongly collectors value a unique interpretation of one of Aston Martin’s most distinctive models.
