Subject: Re: 12/24, 11.9 and11.1 owners
Hello Robert,
Great to hear about your car VA 6646.
I am intrigued about your comment about your car being a ‘KK’ 12/24.
With 11.9s, ‘KK’ was the basic version of the model ‘K’ 2 seat tourer. Many items we would now regard as essential were omitted to make a cheap car. Because Lagonda wanted to go up market, I am intrigued that they continued the 'KK' model with the 12/24 and it would be great to see pictures of your car posted on this site.
I would not be surprised if this turns out to be the case because I’m sure that if a customer wanted to buy a really basic model I’m sure they would sell him one. In terms of luxurious fittings, etc, the contrast between the basic 2 seat tourer model K (or KK) and the saloon model S is enormous and it’s really interesting to discover that both models survive to this day.
Best Wishes Colin M34
