Subject: Anyone know about this 16/80 Tourer?

---

Firstly hello everyone, I have recently joined this forum as I am looking to enter the world of Lagonda ownership. I have an 1958 Aston Martin DB2/4 which, as you all know, uses a WOBentley/Lagonda engine and I have always wanted to own a pre-war car since driving the AMOC's 1934 Ulster (centre accelerator / mirrored gearbox layout).

Like everyone new to a particular marque it's always a difficult knowing where to start but the 16/80 looks attractive to me and the one for sale at German vendor Movendi looks interesting. It's UK registration was/is CPC 748 - chassis number S11334 engine 3082.

I have also discovered from Google that... "In the 60s the open tourer replaced the original saloon body and in 1993 the original engine 1991 cc was replaced by a larger and more powerful 2389 cc engine of the 16/65"



The dealer doesn't say much about the car in his listing but more pictures and details are here http://www.mo-vendi.de/index.php?article_id=16&data_id=344&clang=1

I would be interested in any comments.
