Subject: Re: Lagonda High Chassis, Semi-Sports. 1926/27. Engine?
Hi Peter, Colin,
I am now pretty sure that the car is a fairly standard 14/60 semi tourer. It was first registered in Wimbledon on 10th March 1927. Chassis OH8643, Engine OH386. I am increasingly thinking it was the standard engine. Oil capacity of 2 gal has been mentioned. Originally believed to be Maroon. Complete history except 1937-45 and possibly one owner between 1958 and 1964. On the engine side it is good except for some valve-seat recession. I shall need to attend to that next summer. Any advice on where to get valve seat inserts done appreciated. Does it even need a specialist or can my local engineering workshop do it? (I live near Canterbury)
More posts to come about upholstery and painting.
