Just 14,000 miles, a digital dash and those sweet pop-up headlights. This 1984 Aston Martin Lagonda has the makings of the perfect luxury '80s time machine.

Available on eBay Motors, this Series 2 example is powered by a 5.3-liter V8 that produces a whopping 290 horsepower.

More than the tires, I don't think the visual design has aged well.  It looks like you are viewing an 80's  Bentley Mulsanne on a television with the aspect ratio messed up. 

The good (or perhaps perverse) news is that the 5.3 can be taken to over 400hp a la the X-Pack package found on the V8 Vantage. 

This car needs over 400 horsepower.
