Subject: 2.6 and 3l on ebay and Lagonda prices in general
today seen on ebay:
a 2.6l engine block, looks good (no cracks between cylinders visible, but who sells a block if it does not have a problem?)
a 2.6l saloon without engine and gearbox (too expensive)
a 3l saloon without engine, gearbox, steering rack, instruments
a 2.6l windscreen surround
Recently prices for the Lagonda of the 30s are skyrocketing. The alternatives for the enthusiast (who is no banker or has other unusually high income) looking for a Lagonda must evaluate either the pre 30s Lagonda like 12/24 and early 2liter (14/60) or the postwar 2.6 and 3litre. A few years ago I also was searching for a 30s LC 3ltr (and still am but see prices..). I ended up buying a DB 3 ltr DHC (and a bit later a spare one), in my opinion one of the most elegant cars of the 50s. With only 50 built price was and is still low.. Also the 2.6litre is a neglected model. So there is hope that no more postwar Lagondas are broken up to put their engine in an Aston (which for some reason is 2-4 times more expensive than the Lagonda, certainly more sporty to drive but less rare).
