Year : 1933
Reg. no. TV 9829
Chassis no. 10640
Engine no. 2389I think this is much money if you can buy a restored example for 60’000 GBP (see post http://lagondaforum.com/showtopic.php?id=572)
Peter hi
I fully agree with you, and the restored car looks splendid, and doesn’t sell
But, if memory serves me correctly, the last example was back in June / July (?) made around 35-38k, which I couldn’t understand….
Previous auction:
18th July 2012, Brightwells Auctions Leominster, 1932 3 Litre Saloon
This is the car which was at Beaulieu, see this thread;
Cars (and buildings) are highly attractive when they are in this state – the sense of past and potential for the future!
and of course, a whopping big resto bill……
The car sold for 30,000 +10% bp, making a total of 33,000 pounds for a smell of past splendor.
Good to see unrestored saloon prices are holding up.
This car and the Brightwells car are one and the same. Has someone had a change of mind?
I too saw this car at Beaulieu. I do hope it stays a saloon, but it looked a daunting project to me.
Dave hi,
You are 100% correct, same car, I missed that!
Original buyer at Brightwells at 38k appears to have defaulted, hence the car offered for a second time and sold for somewhat less.
But, still what a resto bill and work ahead of them…
Goodness me! š®
