Subject: Re: 1938 Lagonda LG6 Drophead Coupe for Sale
Hi Simon,
I have to say I much prefer the shape of the LG45 compared to the LG6. A personal preference. I have seen quite a few LG45s at auctions (mainly DHCs) and a lot of them, probably most, leave a lot to be desired. Many of the "restored" ones have bits missing and the panel work not good. Others with dropped doors - probably due to rotten hinge posts. The exposed bottom end rots from the bottom up. Expensive to replace the post. Even the one in tomorrow's auction (H and H 24-5-12) doesn't look that good in the engine bay for a restored car. It also has a central gear lever and a driver's seat from a right gear change car. Perhaps I'm just fussy. Give me an unrestored one full of woodworm any day. . . .
Assuming the plate is on the bulkhead the body type is stamped on the plate - at least it is for an LG45.
David
