True to her origins
Chassis number '14059', originally fitted with its factory body, was delivered in January 1939 through Gaffikin Wilkinson dealers, London. The first owner was A.F. Lingard of Combend Manor in Cheltenham. The car was painted in Cerric Grey, featured maroon trim, a grey hood and came equipped with Ace wheel discs, a tonneau cover, gaiter springs at the rear, special hub nuts and even a rear bumper.
Known owners
Subsequently, the car was acquired by B. Collins of Sidbury Hall in Shropshire. During World War II it was placed in storage and remained dormant until 1951 when it was taken to marque specialists Davis Motors for servicing. Remarkably, the car had only covered 31,000 miles up to that point.In 1979 the current owner purchased the Lagonda at an auction held at Alexandra Palace. At that time, it had been fitted with the engine from '16037,' a V12 saloon de ville.Engine rebuild
In 1996 the Lagonda underwent an engine rebuild that was subsequently performed in Oslo by an aircraft mechanic with expertise in Hercules engines. The car is was described as being in good condition, with the engine in excellent shape.
