Subject: Re: V12 for sale on E bay
Hi Peter,
Interesting reading your thoughts on the V12 dhc conversion. Strangely, my V12 dhc, which is an original one, has the larger/more pronounced boot, and also the taller radiator more commonly fitted to the longer chassis V12s. It is a very late car, first registered in December 1940, & was the property of Alan Good, so I suppose he had it built to his personal criteria! I think Lagonda built 25 dhcs, and I daresay they all differed in one respect or another.
If Ilan remains keen on 16063, perhaps it would be a good idea to see if photos are available of the conversion under construction, which might at least give some idea as to how "correct" the conversion is, & the quality of the work.
