Subject: M45 Saloon "Olympia Exhibition Car"
Hello all, I'm new to the forum.
I've had the pleasure recently of being around some lovely pre-war Lagondas, and felt the need to expand my knowledge about these fine motorcars.
Last week I came across this M45 Sports Saloon, which claims to have been one of the Olympia Exhibition cars. Story has it that it was purchased new by a British diplomat dispatched to Germany, and the car remained here in Germany ever since. The coachwork is said to be by John Charles Ltd.
Does anyone happen to know more about the history of this car? Seems to be very interesting.
