Subject: Re: Lagonda agent or dealers in Guildford
I have a list of Lagonda agents from June 1923 and Jacksons are not listed. That is not to say they were not retailing Lagonda cars 10 years later. In the photo the garage does look like it is dealing in light cars and the photo may just date from the mid-late 1920s?
Lagonda's dealership network was always complicated as they appointed geographic distributors, joint distributors, wholesale and retail distributors etc and they seemed to change annually.
I checked in a book I have on researching vehicle histories whether the vehicle registration records Surrey County Council have survived. Sadly they are recorded as 'presumed destroyed'
Not much help I am afraid but I did have some success when researching my LG45 by writing to the local paper with a photo for the letters column so you could try that. Does the club have any earlier history?
Good luck
