Hi Colin,
Please feel free to share. I am not sure how many of the early DB cars came to USA/Canada. I know of no officially imported or left hand drive cars.
Mine was my personal import (1975). I believe the Brockville car was brought over specifically as a donor? Ken's car was definately here pre 1980. There have been two other 3 Litres recently for sale on the west coast. Both 4 door saloons. The green (South African?) car looked very soild. The other was again, likely a donor car but not beyond help.
There were a couple of 2.6's (one drophead and one saloon) in the States that surfaced in the eighties. Both needing restoration. Also a white DHC that was for sale quite recently through a dealer on the East coast. Maybe one and the same. Apparently it appeared in a Steve Martin movie?
I will check my old Lagonda Club newsletters to get a more accurate count.
Tony
