I agree. I love the look of this car, not ostentatious like a Roller or second class like a Derby , whoever bought this originally had good taste.
I am interested in knowing why this car would be such an expensive proposition if one was to retain it’s oily rag look? From the pictures and if the mileage is authentic why could it not just be cleaned up and driven as is? I know a 100 point restoration would be exorbitant but why bother? I really like the look of this car as it is .
I imagine Lagonda sponsored this team , judging from the name. Are there any adverts for the car in the programme or pictures of the factory?
Maybe you should add a “cattle catcher” as well !
Whatever it is I love it!
Thank you yet again “Mr.Lagonda”
OK, I see from the club parts photos it appears they are pressed together. Anyone know what the clearances are?
how about Bertie Wooster and Hercule Poirot? can anyone tell me what specific models were used in these shows?
I just watched Jay interviewing one of the authors of the book “Sleeping Beauties”. Ironically they point out a Bugatti sedan that was very recently turned into what looks like a pseudo type 35.
I would frown on anyone making a living out of this sort of exercise however how can you blame impecunious enthusiasts who will now never be able to afford the few best open sports models? Personally, I like sedans but for most they do not have the desired cache.SORRY THESE ARE THE ONLY 2 PICTURES I TOOK.
That sounds great Julian. Better than I thought. So if I drive it harder I will get 10 more miles per gallon or is that as I suspect a typo ?
I have been following this car as it looks very nice but realistically this man is a dealer and there is no way he is going to “give it away” If it does not attain what he wants he will most likely have a friend or colleague ( or himself) place a bid or 2.
Julian, I sent you this via personal email with no response so here it is again. Please advise on the availability of a matching speedometer. Thanks, Barry
Tony, I am plugging on with the M45 as everything I have been offered would be a downgrade and my learned vintage car buddy here in Canada has got me convinced the M45 was one of the truly great ones. It’s a daunting task compared with motorcycle restoration but at least I now have a decent warm shop to work in. I will ask the fellow who had the DB where it went to, hindsight but I suppose at $1800 I should have snapped it up!
I was offered a sedan less engine near Brockville about 10 years ago. I recently spoke with the seller and he said it did eventually go overseas and he subsequently found the engine and alerted the buyer who acquired it.
