- I believe unknown no. 22 & 52 could be the same car:

http://www.vassard.dk/lagonda/unknown/022.html
http://www.vassard.dk/lagonda/unknown/052.html

I think the picture of no. 22 was taken in France, and no. 52 in Oman (now with serious damage to the front and rear). Everything seems to match (interior with red piping, exterior colour including red line, gold trim, no roof antenna, US style side markers etc.)

Unknown #10 could be 13359, on which the pepperpot wheels were replaced with centra wheels. So Dimitri's car would get some value as featuring on an ASTON MARTIN leaflet...
Side lamps, colour and trim are matching.

With those wheels, I would say 093 is the turbo development car, 13004.

Best guess for 094 is 13006, the prototype which went to Javelina. It was discussed here: http://lagondanet.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=263 and here: http://lagondanet.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=720&highlight=javelina

Interestingly, the dash pod looks different to production.

Well spotted!

That arial is quite unique (+ CH reg, US style side markers)

003 - Old photos from outside "Skallebølle Autoværksted" in Denmark
005 - Photo is from Switzerland - and more recent (I think)

So it could very well be the same car!

008 - Bright red and used in AML advertising in the mid 1980's. Are you sure it is 13391 which seems to have a darker red color ? Also repainted ?

Thanks!

Well, at first I thought it would be 13380 - the first CRT car and one displayed at the Birmingham motor show in 1984, but the interior colour is wrong - David's car is grey piped red and 391 is magnolia piped red. From Roger's register, 391 is listed as having plates 1AML.

Diamond-turned Centras with black vents makes it 13380 + 13385 to 13427 + 13436 but for promotional material it would be early in the run surely?

I do agree that it looks like a light red though. It looks more like the Storm Red of 13008 than the York Red of 13380 / 13391. However, if you look at the picture with Concorde: http://www.vassard.dk/lagonda/unknown/view.html?008,005 the red of the tail fin is orange - that tells me the photo has been colour adjusted.

Was the brochure available at the motor show? Could the photos be a combination of 13380 and 13391?

Maybe Tim could shed some light on this?

007 is an interesting one. These photos are from the glossy brochure. They are of a completely production-spec car. This rules out a retrim of 001 which has the sunroof in the wrong place (plus swage lines in the roof and no gutters).

It is Silver with black interior and blue carpets. The radio in it is a Pioneer KP-9300: http://antique-autoradio-madness.org/Pioneer/Pioneer-1981/Pioneer-1981_04.htm

..which is a 1981 model so the photos must have been taken at least then. The (1975) was dropped from the company name in 1981, but is used on the brochure.

No dash top vent says pre-107ish, mirror on A post says pre-069ish, chrome/wood gear knob says pre 035-040, it also has early seat belts which changed in 1981.

So - gear knob says it is a 1979 or early to mid 1980 car, but with a later radio?
