Subject: Re: Lagonda Rapides in films and on TV
Reading the last 2 posts, the Brooklands records are broadly consistent with the build sheets; sadly my record does not show the date when Brooklands received 126 (or 129) from AML. It is also conceivable (50 years on) that there is scope for ambiguity between delivery say, and change of title
I wonder therefore if Mr Thomas was an employee or director of Beaconsfield Films, e.g. Company Secretary, Finance Director, Chairman's chauffeur etc?
Your evidence about 1962 being the year does seem strong.
So I wonder if the car in the film was painted for the show and later changed to another colour? E.g Black pearl. But we found no evidence in 117 when we did the bare metal respray that it had ever had a blue coat under the black, for example
