Aston Martin Lagonda Panel Van Conversion
Five years ago I created a photoshop chop image of an Aston Martin Lagonda Limousine Dragster. Ever since then I wondered what an accompagnying shop truck could look like. Today, while watching the 24h race of the Nürburgring, I finally did it. From the front to the B-pillar it is 100% original, but everything further back has been modified. In order to prevent the vehicle to look tail-heavy, I decided to add a window just aft of the B-pillar. This makes the vehicle look more elegant and concentrates more optical weight in the center of the car. And to make an already long car look even longer, I lowered it. Larger diameter wheels with less sidewall give it a more modern look and the pinstripe is the icing on the cake. Now – who wouldn’t love to haul parts for the shop with this rig?

Visiting the 2012 Nitrolymp’x at the Hockenheimring last weekend inspired me to create a couple of dragsters with photoshop. And because mainstream isn’t really my cup of tea, I used a couple of rather unlikely cars as a base: the Aston Martin Lagonda Limousine and the Talbot Lago T23 Teardrop Coupé by Figoni & Falaschi. Chances of seeing this conversion done in reality? Probably next to nothing 😉
