Subject: Re: 2 Litre Lagonda ID
Hi Peter,

Everything sounds in order here. Type OHL.T2 means you have a low chassis car with the T2 tourer body

Car No OH 9916 looks fine. I had a 2 Litre registered in March 1930 which was 9602 so yours is about 300 cars later which stacks up with it being late 1930.

Engine No 1665. This is where it is complicated. The record cards (which don't exist now) tended to allocate a number to the engine and then cross-reference that to a works order. So the number OHL2 1088 on the side of the engine timing case was used internally as a WO number and when a customer ordered a car, engine number OHL2 1088 was drawn from stores and fitted to a car as engine number 1665. I would say this is fine but remember that 'no two Lagondas are the same.

How much of the original blower drive have you got?'
