Subject: Re: Anyone know about this 16/80 Tourer?
Hello Rich,
I looked at this car back in 2008 when it was for sale in Belgium (LMB Racing).
I was told at the time that I would be disappointed with the performance of the 16/80’s engine & did not purchase the car (this advice was wrong as I now own a 16/80 and they are very good touring cars if they have not been messed around with).
Anyway it’s a very clean looking well-made car even if it has an incorrect body.
However the price is way too high even in today’s market and for a 16/80 with incorrect body you should be paying some 29k Euro less than what is being asked.
By the way when this car was listed with LMB they described the body as original (which we all say it is not) but it might be worth checking with them as you never know if the body was from another Lagonda or not.
Well, good luck with finding a car and maybe we will see you at this year’s AGM (you will have all models to look at & maybe one or two will be for sale).
Best Wishes
Chris
