Subject: Re: 16/80 Body
Here is a picture of a LC 2 Litre sold by Lagonda in 1933 and originally fitted with the T7 body and cycle wings. I do not quite understand why the customer would have been "fobbed off" and that he had to be "persuaded" by a "keen salesman" to buy this motorcar with an "excellent discount" as Mr. Mallett seems to believe.
In my opinion it is a highly attractive car, both engine and chassis were by no means obsolete and, although 6 cylinders became the fashion around this time, many preferred the sturdiness of the more sporting 4 cylinder 2 Litre - which also had roughly the same performance as the 16/80.
Far more often than 16/80's, 2 Litres participated for several years after 1933 in rally's, trials etc.
