Hi All, thanks very much for the film clip, I own the Irish Lagonda Rapide you will see details on it in the forum on Lagonda Rapide 61-64 Wanted about page 8 i posted some pictures and update on the car,i knew the car was in a film and had seen still shots and a letter from Walt Disney about the car in the film but never saw the clip.
its fantastic to see the clip and to see the car in full glory any questions
thanks again Jim
Ment to say the Lagonda is automatic with pressed steel knock on wheels light green metallic paint
The Lagonda Rapide was bought new by a company in Cork South of Ireland , the first owners wife is still alive and I have spoke to the family it must have been a great car in the early 60s for Ireland. I spoke to the salesman who sold it new so he was able to fill in a lot of the details,it has had 3 registered owners .It was used in a Walt Disney film in UK late 60s and basically went in to storage in 1973 (fuel crisis) and was only brought out for the odd drive. I bought it about 20 years ago and drove it on and off for about 6 months great fun but i put it away as i had new daughter arriving 4 kids now so I have been busy with family life and haven’t driven the car since, its a barn find now all original but needs a full rebuild i also have BMW 633, and have owned NSU 2 stroke like the first audi 80 also a porsche 356, 1952 E93 ford prefect, 1960 ford prefect,Lancia Monte Carlo, 1973 Alfa Junior 2000 about 3 hard top MGAs and 4 soft tops 1500cc and 1600 cc and loads of MGB s hard and soft tops,midget etc .
