Subject: Re: Advice when buying an LG45 S1
Gentlemen,
Thank you all for your generous advice and comments. This is much appreciated and most helpful.
I will be on the Lagonda stand at the NEC on Friday 8th November, if you would like to introduce yourself?
Well, it seems I found a diamond! After only 70 hours of good, old fashioned, recommissioning, she started at first turn of the key.
The clutch plate was stuck solid to the flywheel and the the horizontal, Scintilla GN6 Magneto requires overhaul. In all other areas, she seems to be way better than I expected. The clutch issue is now resolved with a little struggling and the occasional adjective.
I have now driven her around 50 miles for shakedown tests, each time I improve something small I have spotted during my outing.
I’m very close to making the decision to take her on a long tour to Berlin, next year. She really is that good.
It seems I got lucky!
I will be taking her to the George Public House in Maulden on Saturday 9th November for the regional Lagonda meet up at 12:00.
If you would like one, I’m happy to give a fellow enthusiast a ride out in her.
Thank you all again
Keith
