The jaw-dropping Lagonda saloon of 1976 saved Aston Martin - could it happen again? On 20 October 1976, Aston Martin bet its future on a model so radical that it risked returning the company to the mire from which it had only just risen.

The XJ220 was big, fast and criticised. Over 30 years on, does that criticism stack up? Over 30 years ago, Jaguar unveiled a groundbreaking car: the production version of the XJ220.
