Subject: Re: 1953 Brooklands 2.6 /3.0 litre dhc
Car dealership, Er ? AML Ltd or more specifically Lagonda Ltd as first owner
Car featured in many key adverts in 1955 and 1956 - history ?
Continuous history from new ?
That the car was a rare beast in its condition, unlike so many seen which are wrecks even if complete, was a given, the original interior with some work was all saveable.
As to the loan of the car to Fangio for several years, it may have had a marked effect, how much it was, we have no idea, but several people were very keen and that was their choice of course.
In my opinion what helped that car, was product placement (good advertising, pictures, write up and several excited people), AML Bonham's was the correct auction, pre- Brexit.
