Subject: Re: LG6 Saloon in the April H&H auction
Interesting comments on this LG6, overall looks to be pretty original and taxed for road use on the continent.
In contrast to some of the other styles on the long chassis be it V12 or LG5, imho, this car looks very handsome, beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course. Being a limousine makes it less desirable than, say, a drophead or even a short chassis factory saloon and I think this is reflected in the estimate of 40-50k; but no doubt it will make more...
The bulkhead plate shows that it was supplied as a chassis and there are no details given of the coachbuilder by the auction house.
However, for a limousine it is quite elegant & not too bulky and the LG6 is an excellent model, being the ultimate development of the Meadows 6, heavily "breathed on" by WO.
I do agree though that it lacks the light touch of Frank Feeley who had a very good eye for car body styling.
