Subject: Re: Agony Aunt Corner (I'm sure there should be one) - Correct pronunciation?
Morning Barry,
I personally have always said, 45 and will carry on doing regardless of others, I think the "Four Five" crew is led by the young fresh faced auction college dropouts trying to be "in the know"
Don't blame them for not knowing better, just pity them 
Generally in other marques and also in the trade, "Four Five" or "Three Four or Four and a Half" refers to a chassis on one, say a 3 litre Bentley with an engine from another, say a 4 or 4,1/2 litre Bentley hence Three Four etc. So as we Lagonda's don't have a 4 litre or a 5 litre we should stick with the "45" nomenclature!
