Lagonda 2.6-litre Litre T2 Low Chassis Tourer. 1931
General description :
1931 Lagonda 2 Litre T2 Low Chassis Tourer.
Chassis number: OH10038
Registration number: AR-02-85
Immaculately restored, this car started life as a T2 low chassis tourer as indeed it is today. The car has covered 10,000 miles or so since the engine was rebuilt & the body fully restored covering limited mileage each year.
To the interior is Maroon leather throughout in simply lovely condition along with maroon carpets. A brand new black full tonneau cover keeps the elements at bay. The exterior is black fabric to the body panels along with black painted wings & bonnet. The chassis is burgundy making for a very fine looking ensemble indeed. The car comes with a new hood & newly refinished side screens. A Kenlowe fan is fitted, but the owner reports he has never had recourse to use it as the car runs cool in hot weather & traffic.
Mechanically the car is superb. The rebuilt twin cam engine fires readily & provides ample power for the light body. The car has the cycle type wings that turn in unision with the front wheels. The original tear drop running boards are also in situ.
This is an impeccable car that has been superbly looked after since restoration. We will be doing a full set of pictures as soon as the car arrives with us towards the end of April unless already sold. It comes with a good assortment of paperwork, correspondence & pictures dating back to the Early 1950's

About Lagonda
Ah, the story of Lagonda, a true gem in the tapestry of British automotive history! Grab a cuppa, and let me take you on a journey through the annals of this illustrious marque.Chapter 1: The Early Years (1906-1947)
Picture this: It's 1906, and a chap by the name of Wilbur Gunn decides to put his name on the map. He establishes Lagonda Limited, and from the get-go, he's got a penchant for the fancy. Lagonda starts off with motorcycles, and Gunn even races them himself. But hold on, it gets better. By the '20s, Lagonda sets its sights on four-wheeled wonders.
Cue the roaring '20s and the birth of some exquisite machines. The Lagonda 11.1, 14/60, and the M45 Rapide become the darlings of the British motoring scene. Sleek, stylish, and a joy to drive, these Lagondas are the epitome of pre-war elegance. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, along comes the mighty LG45.
Chapter 2: The Post-war Resurgence (1947-1974)
The war's over, and Lagonda dusts off its overalls to get back in the game. David Brown, the man behind Aston Martin, steps in, and suddenly, Lagonda is under the wing of a fellow British automotive enthusiast. The '50s see a revival with the DB2 and DB3, and the Lagonda Rapide makes its grand entrance.
But hold onto your flat caps, my friend, because the '60s usher in the mighty Lagonda Rapide sedan, a true symbol of luxury and power. Meanwhile, the stunning Aston Martin DB5 steals the spotlight in the spy world, but Lagonda keeps its cool.
Chapter 3: The Wedge Era (1976-1990)
Fast forward to the '70s, and Lagonda throws a curveball with the Lagonda Series 2. What's that you say? A wedge-shaped wonder with digital dashboards and space-age styling? Absolutely. It's the era of excess, and Lagonda embraces it with open arms. The Series 3 follows suit, and suddenly, Lagonda is the epitome of '80s opulence.
Chapter 4: The Modern Revival (1990s-Present)
The '90s and beyond see Lagonda in a bit of a slumber. But worry not, my fellow enthusiast, because the brand gets a wake-up call in the 21st century. Aston Martin, ever the steward of British motoring glory, revives Lagonda with the Taraf and the Vision Concept.
And there you have it, the tale of Lagonda, a marque that has weathered the winds of time with style, sophistication, and a dash of British eccentricity. So, tip your hat to Lagonda, a name that will forever echo through the halls of automotive elegance. Cheerio!
