You will have to remind me which entity - precisely - owned the car that was loaned to Fangio. I don't recall when Lagonda Limited ceased to exist but I thought it was at a date earlier than this car's manufacture.
IIRC, that 'good advertising, pictures, write up' came very late in the day e.g. I recall that much of the original marketing and other historical material was omitted from the first run of the Bonhams blurb.
I was at the auction and the number of bidders on the car was modest. The car was a good project, for sure, but I think that the biggest factor at play was pure bloody good fortune.
