Subject: My Father's Rapide
My father owned Lagonda Rapide 546 FBC (from new I think) painted in what we then called alice blue. My mother's Alvis 801 CUV was originally light grey but was repainted to match the Lagonda!
Does anyone know anything about the fate or current whereabouts of this RHD Auto Rapide? I remember my father letting me drive it from Folkestone to Canterbury when I was 17!
If I have mastered the attachment process you will see both cars photographed in Spring 1963 alongside my Austin 7.
Ownership of motoring rarities must run in the family. I currently have a Lamborghini Silhouette, the first of 52 production cars and 1976 Paris Show car.
