Subject: Re: Restoration of a 12/24 Lagonda
Hello Patrick,
My first Lagonda was a 12-24 Reg No YM 221. I have some pictures of it somewhere and will try to find them and scan them. A picture of the car was in a fairly recent Lagonda Club Bulletin. Someone restored it - thay must have spent a fortune because it was in dreadful condition. I couldn't get any spares for it so I sold it and bought a Riley sidevalve instead. This was almost as gutless as the 12-24. I last heard of it in teh Lagonda Club when it was owned by a person living in Kingham Oxfordshire. It's possible the chassis and engine numbers are recorded in an old Membership List. Mine was the monocoque version because it was the LC tourer. Colin was luckier in getting an ex-saloon because this had a separate chassis. Kind regards, Roger
