Subject: Re: 16/80 Body
That is a very interesting car for more than one reason. Your 2 Litre has the highest known "chassis" (actually "car") number known so far! Could you do me an enormous favor and let me know what the engine number is - it is stamped on the near-side of the timing cover.
Your car should not necessarily have a T2 body. It is highly unlikely that your car is "High Chassis". If it was sold in March 1933 it must be "Low Chassis" and other body types up to T6 would be equally suitable. You could look for the body you like best - pictures of all these types can be found in Geoffrey Seaton's "Lagonda, an illustrated history 1900-1950". Alas the Lagonda website still doesn't show these different models.
I would be over the moon with that engine number!
