	Lagonda 3-Litre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The second Lagonda of the David Brown/Aston Martin era was the 1953 3-Litre.
		It used a higher displacement 2.9 L version of the Lagonda Straight-6 engine which was designed by Walter Owen Bentley.
		The Lagonda Rapide of 1961 was a final attempt to revive the Lagonda name as a luxury saloon counterpart to Aston Martin's GT cars.

	Cartype : Lagonda logo
		In 1925 Lagonda introduced a six cylinder car called the 16/65 which was 2692cc (69 x 120mm) and with push rod operated overhead valves.
		Lagonda have always been a sporting concern and a programme of long-distance events were entered with 2 litres and later 3 litres.
		For this model Lagonda decided not to build the bodywork themselves, probably for space reasons and the standard bodies were supplied by Abbott of Farnham, although several other coachbuilders performed on this chassis.

		I was introduced to the Lagonda motor car when I was a college student in Edinburgh, Scotland.
		Lagonda is not an Italian car, as some suppose; rather, the name is Indian.
		Lagondas were hand-built - meaning that the body shell, fenders, etc., were not stamped out on presses.

	SHORT HISTORY OF LAGONDAS
		For the low chassis engine the dynamo was moved from the offside to the nose of the crankshaft where it fitted underneath the radiator.
		There was then no Lagonda made for nearly four years until the Motor Show of 1961 when the 4 litre Rapide was introduced (96 x 92mm, 3995cc).
		Note: Arnold welcomes inquiries from people who have "found" Lagondas and the Club operates a very effective service to establish provenance of any model but particularly pre-war ones where the records were destroyed during the War.

	British Motor Manufacturers 1894-1960, Lagonda
		A 12/18 model was run in the Moscow to St. Petersburg Reliability Trials of 1910 and its success led to many 20 and 30 hp models being exported to Russia in the years prior to the war.
		In 1935 Lagonda stopped marketing this model and a separate company Rapier Cars Ltd. was formed to market this model as a make in its own right.
		In September 1947 Alan Good sold Lagonda to the David Brown Group, who used the WO Bentley designed LB6 2.5 litre six-cylinder engine in the Aston-Martin's up to the DB2 MkIII.

		The earlier V8 Lagonda is known as the series 1 - the wedge shaped Lagondas are known as the series 2, 3 and 4.
		This is probably the oldest surviving Aston Martin Lagonda (it was at this time classed as an Aston Martin, although later the name was shortened to Lagonda).
		The Lagonda was from a time of cars like the Ferrari 308GT4 and Lotus Esprit, but more than any other car defined 'edge' design as these shots show.

	Aston Martin Lagonda in North America
		In 1950 the Aston Martin DB2 powered by a Lagonda design engine was equal first in the Index of Performance and the winner of the 3.0 litre class in Le Mans 24 hours race for sports cars.
		Increasing popularity of the marque led to the establishment of Aston Martin Lagonda North America Inc. in March 1964 and the opening of a showroom in New York by Sir David Brown on December 2, 1969.
		The unique relationship which Aston Martin Lagonda enjoys with the Aston Martin Owners Club in Britain is mirrored in the United States.

		But I have had to make a firm decision, and that is to use the Lagonda Vignale to begin the story of the V12 Vanquish - and as you're now confused, I had better explain.
		The Lagonda Vignale was commissioned by AML (already fully owned by Ford) from Ghia Design (also part of the Ford family) to be shown at the 1993 Geneva Salon.
		So, in my opinion, the important ideas behind the Lagonda Vignale clearly identify it as the first vehicle in the story of the V12 Vanquish.

		Along with the V8 coupe and Volante, in January 1985, the Lagonda received the Fuel Injected engine with the electronically controlled sequential system, made by Weber/Marelli.
		The engine number suffix became V/585 and is both cleaner and more fuel efficient than the carburettors equipped car.
		The example on the left is a little unusual though not unique, as all the brightwork is gilded - the gold is certainly an acquired taste.

	Aston Martin Lagonda - Classic Driver - MAGAZINE - classic car of the week
		Something of a Loch Ness Monster, the Lagonda was styled by William Towns, and looked like something right out of a science-fiction movie.
		In 1985 almost 100 Lagondas, about half the annual production, were produced by the Newport Pagnell factory, Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd’s stronghold, and delivery time went from three and a half years to less than one year.
		Very innovative in some aspects, for example its almost lavish style and digital instrumentation, the Lagonda was at the same time the guarantor of the craftsman’s tradition.

		The 2-litre Lagonda seems to be the most popular of all the Lagonda models.
		May I suggest that you join the Lagonda Club (if you haven't done so already); this will keep you up-to-date with what's happening in the world of Lagondas, as well as notifying you of any that are for sale.

		Both Aston Martin and Lagonda cars were now built at Hanworth Park in Feltham, with engines, chassis and running gear assembled at David Brown’s factory at Farsley in Yorkshire.?Then in 1954, Brown bought Tickford Motor Bodies in Newport Pagnell – where the offices and production facilities for the V12 Vanquish are now located.
		In 1972 Aston Martin Lagonda entered another new era – in which ownership was to change several times.?First it was acquired by Company Developments, a Birmingham-based group of businessmen, with Sir David Brown retaining a seat on the board and becoming President.

	Aston Martin and Lagonda in Miniature
		Fitted with a W. Bentley designed six-cylinder engine acquired through his purchase of the Lagonda works and constantly improved throughout its long production life, the DB2 and the variants which evolved from it epitomized the concept of a "gentleman's express" to a degree never equaled by its rather staid and home-grown competitors.
		As one of Britain's crowning automotive stars, Lesney opted to add a very accurate model of the DB2 to its 1-75 lineup and over the years offered in only two colors (which were both very true to the prototype) and a few different wheel variations.
		A bold and thoroughly unique design even by today's standards, the ultra-angular and very costly Lagonda was an immediate hit with wealthy people for whom a Rolls or Bentley was simply too common and mundane.

		To the Lagonda piano query, I offer the following from: http://www.btinternet.com/~colin.mallett/history.html#Origin Origin and Early Days The Company was started by an American, Wilbur Gunn, who had two main interests, engineering and singing.
		Although he had been apprenticed to Singers in America, it was as an opera singer he came to Britain.
		With the addition of A H Cranmer to the firm in 1904, he progressed to three wheeled forecars and these grew to have twin cylinder water cooled engines of about 1200 cc by 1905 and later, wheel steering as well.

		This motor helped Lagonda win its class at LeMans in the early '30s, giving Britain its only LeMans first-place finish in that decade (in 1939 Lagondas came in third and fourth place at LeMans).
		While the early history of this Lagonda is not known, in the past 20 years it has passed through the hands of several prominent collectors, with at least one recorded purchase price topping $1 million.
		Known simply as the Lagonda or the Lagonda V-8, it had impressive power (340 hp), but a controversial wedge shape that made it a "love it or hate it" sort of model.

		It worked twice for me, the first time showed that the number had been transferred, the second time I got details of my current car, but the engine size was wrong.
		That does not mean it has not survived; it might not be in the Club or have been re-registered; or even (regrettably in my view) made into a Le Mans Replica, of which there are several.
		The v12 Lagonda engine,like the v12 RR engine,which I think it inspired,were engines ahead of lubrication oil technology.

		In 1978 280 hp was a lot, but it was obviously a very heavy car, and if it took four years to build, drag strip times were obviously not what it was about.

		Bentley was aware that he had been developing - on paper - a short-stroke ohc V12 alternative for the Phantom III and was increasingly unhappy at Derby.
		It was realised during the war the post-war Lagonda would have to be a smaller car than the V12 if it were to be profitable.
