Lagonda 3-Litre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The second Lagonda of the David Brown/Aston Martin era was the 1953 3-Litre. Like its predecessor, the 3-Litre was a 4-seat car, but only 2-door closed or convertible "Drophead Coupe" models were sold first. 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lagonda_3-Litre   (169 words)

Cartype : Lagonda logo Lagonda have always been a sporting concern and a programme of long-distance events were entered with 2 litres and later 3 litres. At the 1933 Olympia Show the first 41/2 litre, the M45, was introduced. 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. www.cartype.com /page.cfm?id=458   (4326 words)

British Motor Manufacturers 1894-1960, Lagonda 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. 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. www.britishmm.co.uk /history.asp?id=535   (355 words)

ClassicDriver.com presents - Jaguar In a word, it was flash, and these early Jaguars were often dismissed by the old guard of the Bentley, Lagonda and Invicta brigade as "Wardour Street Bentleys;" in other words the kind of car to appeal to cigar-chomping theatrical agents with a penchant for astrakhan coats topped offed with a garnish of fur. At the 1935 Olympia motor show William Lyons's Swallow Sidecar and Coachbuilding Company debuted the first true Jaguars, for that was the model name he had chosen for his new range. In 1955 the Coventry company added its first unitary-built car, the new compact 2.4-litre saloon - known retrospecitvely as the Mk1 - to create its most complete model range ever. www.classicdriver.com /upload/manufacturer/jaguar.htm   (887 words)

Driving Today Aston Martin thus gained access to the 2.6-liter six-cylinder Lagonda engine, which had been designed by the legendary W.O. Bentley, fitted it in a revised Two-Litre chassis. Priced reasonably at about $80,000 in 1993, the new DB7 was immediately successful, and sent Aston Martin down a new road, one appropriate to a car company, as opposed to the amusing hobby that the marque had been for most of its varied life. The DB7 was no lightweight at 3,800 pounds, but the supercharged powerplant could still pull the gentleman's coupe from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than five and a half seconds. www.drivingtoday.com /partner/content/antiquecar/2004-08-02/gc_astonmartin_db7.html   (1138 words)
