Product Description

Product Description

In 1933 the long-established car maker Lagonda introduced its now immortal 4.5-litre model, a large, powerful machine that made a potent rival for the contemporary Bentleys and Talbots. Initially a rather rough and tough car, it was progressively refined by W.O. Bentley in the mid-1930s, and was joined in 1938 by his magnificent V12 4.5-litre car, which provided effortless and silent 100 mph performance. All these cars are highly prized today and fetch enormous prices, based not only on their elegance and pedigree but also on their abilities, which were amply demonstrated at Le Mans. This is the first ever book devoted to these models and Arnold Davey, the Registrar and Historian of the Lagonda Club, is uniquely qualified to write it, offering an in-depth examination of the design, manufacture, evolution and characteristics of the cars, as well as the practicalities of ownership today. Six splendid specimens have been specially photographed to illustrate the text. * Models covered: M45 1933-35, M45R Rapide 1935, LG45 1936-37, LG45R Rapide 1937, LG6 1938-40, V12 1938-40. * Fully illustrated: with 270 colour and black-and-white photographs.

Lagonda in detail 19 May 2010
Excellent book on the history of Lagonda. I have family links to Lagonda and Bert Hammond who was my grandfathers brother. My grandfather his brothers and my father all worked at Lagonda.My father is 84 years young and enjoyed reading the book and the details on Bert Hammond.As we do not have any pictures of Bert is was great to be able to see what he looked like and the part he played in the history of Lagonda.My father is very impressed with the details and pictures in the book the author has definately done his homework.
