It was a futuristic looking animal 40 years ago, the only two contenders i can think of for similarly futuristic looking cars at the time were the Rover SD1 and the Ford Sierra (not launched until 1/12/82 though) but the "novelty" of the SD1s looks had worn off after 6 years by 1982 when the 760 was launched.
Thankfully the 760 was and still is a lot more reliable than the Lagonda!
