Subject: Barn find 16/80 project
Hi Folks,
I have recently unearthed a "Barn find" 1934 16/80 project which I now wish to pass on. I knew about it for about the last 15 years because the previous owner used to own one of my other Lagondas, but up till now I was too polite to ask him whether he wanted to sell this one.
I have combined it with some of my spares and it now a pretty complete rolling chassis - minus engine and gearbox, though I am pretty comfortable that a 16/80 (or 2 Litre) engine and gearbox can be found. It has bonnet and sides but will need a complete new body and wings. I know someone who would make these.
It has a chassis plate and is known to the Club, though there are no records of a registration number. Most of the replacement spares are available from the Club.
This project will make a great entry into Lagonda ownership for someone willing to use a wire brush and maybe do their own woodwork. The last 16/80 chassis project I knew of was turned into a V12 engined Lagonda special!
I look forward to helping the new owner restore the car and before advertising it I would welcome enquiries by private message from anyone interested in a discreet sale amongst enthusiasts. For the time being I would prefer not to give out further information in the open forum.
