Subject: Re: Jacks, Tools & Starting Handles
OK chaps, help me out here please! Somewhere in one of the 4 books I have bought on Lagonda there is a paragraph that describes the complete tool set provided with each car. I spent an hour or so last night thumbing through them to see if I could find the passage but short of re-reading each book it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It was something along the lines of "and should the owner of a Lagonda break down on the road he's well provided for because the factory supplies with each car; a 1/4" spanner, a 1/2 spanner, 2 x adjustable wrenches, 2 tyre levers etc. etc. The writer then goes on to say something like "it's a good job the springs are solid because that little lot must add a few hundred weight to the car..."
I have:
Lagonda 2, 3 & 3-1/2 Litre in Detail, 1925-35 By Arnold Davey
Lagonda Book - A History Of The Marque By Davey And May
Lagonda Heritage (Osprey Classic Marques)
Lagonda An Illustrated History 1900-1950 Hardcover – Geoffrey Seaton
Anyone remember reading that passage?
