Subject: Re: 2-Litre Wanted
Hi Peter,
Good choice. I took my 1927 HC 2 Litre out last weekend. It makes all the right noises, handles well and is fun to drive.
The HC speed model at the recent Richard Edmonds auction at Castle Combe sold for £48,400 including buyers premium. It did not strike me as a particularly attractive example but would certainly respond from an enthusiastic owner improving it. IMHO the best cars change hands privately - largely by word of mouth, before they get near a dealer. If you have not done so already, join the Lagonda Club and start going to gatherings. Maybe you will hear of one from your new friends. But be warned; people keep them for a long time. I have only had mine for 20 years and have no intention of selling it. They do change hands, but usually discreetly!
Good luck!
Colin
