Subject: 2 Litre Lagonda ID

---

Seeking some help

I have recently purchased a 2 litre late 1930 Lagonda .
The Car has been in storage some 30 years and arrive in New Zealand early fifty’s .
It looks in original condition and is complete . Unfortunately the long period of storage requires us to re build the engine and gearbox .
I hope a Member can explain why the engine number does not match the car ID plate , and may shed light on this ?
Body plate information
Type OHL..T2
Engine No 1665
Car No OH 9916

Stamped on the side of the engine timing case is OHL2 1088 .

Can someone shed light on this engine ?
Duel Zenith Carb’s generator in line with Crank handle .
From my experience the engine looks to have be original installed .
I am planning to purchase parts from the Club and would like to understand if the engine is the same age as the car ?
Has anyone knowledge of a Blower to suit the engine ?
