Subject: Re: Rebuilding an engine of a 1931 2 Litre
Interesting! Bound files never impress me as much as a the sound and looks of a sweet engine. The only thing I can conclude is that lawyers must have got involved. The “detailed work sheets and a photographic record running to several hundred images, all in bound files” must have been prepared by, or for “Learned Counsel” involved in a dispute that must have lasted 13 years.
Depressingly, as the cars get more desirable, so people with money but not knowledge will become further involved and put the cars further from the reach of mere engineers and STEM Ambassadors such as myself.
Fortunately, Lagondas were made in sufficient numbers that there remain decent projects that do not cost the price of a small house to restore and enjoy.
I await the results of this auction with interest.
