Hi Hugo,
If you are not a member of the Lagonda Club its worth joining as the website has information on the different model types and the club has an excellent spares service.
There are no factory records for the 2 Litre as they were destroyed post-war but the club has records of known cars back to the early 1950s. Normally the body type will be shown on the chassis plate so T2 would show a T2 body...but this car does not have a T2 body. The type of body fitted looks like a high chassis car but it has a chassis number of OH9745 which may date it to late 1931 (my car was manufactured in Dec 1931 and has a number very close to this car)...but the chassis and engine look much earlier.
The car should probably have long wings which would be expensive to fabricate. It might be a bit of a marriage but if it sells within the guide price could be an interesting project.
Doesn't answer all your questions and an inspection by an expert would really be required to solve the puzzle but hope the above helps
Best Regards
Mark
