Subject: Re: Lagonda High Chassis, Semi-Sports. 1926/27. Engine?
I'm not sure that Kingston would have pre-allocated blocks of reg nos to Lagonda, although I know this practice applied for dealers. My July 1939 LG6 is JPB235, and December 1940 V12 is JPH403. My uncle coincidentally owned a V12 Rapide in the 50s registered JPH126...there are perhaps a couple of other JPH reg Lagondas but not remotely consecutive. The Lancefield bodied V12 was fairly late registered, and that is JPG492, so I don't think there is much evidence to say Lagonda had blocks of reg nos to use. Perhaps they did in the 20s as production levels were higher then.
