Lagonda LG45 Tourer 1937
General description :
ABOUT THIS CLASSICImpressive, is the first thing that comes to mind when you see this 1937 Lagonda LG45. Only 278 units were built in 1936 & 1937. The cars were available in 5 different standard bodies (Tourer, saloon, Drophead, Rapide & Deville) Our specimen was completely restored. This DHC body on a steel chassis is therefore a so-called “Drophead” (VIN: 12165/G10). The car is equipped with its original 6 cylinder in line "Meadows" engine. This impressive, water-cooled 4453cc, 94Kw engine with 128HP runs like a train and is equipped with 2 SU HV5 1 five eighth carburettors. (Engine number: LG45/210/S1) This is coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox (Lagonda G10) that drives the rear wheels and shifts seamlessly. Right hand drive and therefore also the shifter on the right. The clutch is located on the left under the steering wheel, the accelerator pedal in the middle and the brake pedal on the bottom right. After getting used to it, driving this car is an exceptional experience. The “two tone” Bordeaux/black body is in superb condition. The impressive Chrome grill, “Lucas” lamps, horn & bumpers complete the picture. The Bordeaux painted wire wheels are fitted with Michelin 6.00/6.5x18 tires. A great car that can handle all weather conditions. The perfectly functioning vinyl folding roof makes it easy to open the car. The set-up windows all around makes it a delicious coupe. So, open this car is a dream & closed a real pleasure. The black leather interior with red-trimmed carpet in combination with the wooden dashboard is beautifully finished. The fantastic analogue clocks and the large steering wheel contribute to this cars stylish interior. Every historic rally in the world likes to see this car appear at the starting line.

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!
