Subject: Re: More advice needed - engine mountings
Hi Hugo,
From memory the engine mounting pads fit in brass 'cups' on the underside on the 2 Litre and are the same front and rear... and you do have to trim them to fit!
There is no such thing as a standard Lagonda colour, indeed I have been told by the club Archivist that there is no such thing as a standard Lagonda. Customers were wealthy people who specified what they wanted. In the late 1930s one owner produced an eiderdown and pointed at the colour they wanted...the factory did as it was asked !
Some paint suppliers have the ability to match colours where they put a spectrometer on the sample to identify its formula. You will need to ask around to see if any suppliers local to you provide this service. Good luck carrying the chassis into the shop!
Regards
Mark
