Subject: Who built the body for Lagonda v12
Hi I purchased a V12 Lagonda 1984 from the Henry Ellard collection.
We knew it was one of the two chassis ordered by Graber of Switzerland for
bespoke coachwork in 1939 but never delivered.
It was 1st registered as GUK 474 13TH JUNE 1949.
Owners listed/ Sir Alfred McLain & Sons Ltd, Hooton Road,Hooton,Cheshire
Davis Motors Service at 25835 Miles, August 1953
Henry Ellard, Wolverhampton
John Critchley
Now with red trim and owned by Jeremy Critchley at 26500 miles.
Ever since I have had it, it has been in my garage.

What we would like to know about the car is who designed and built the present body,
which seems to be unique.

In my opinion the rear of the car looks to be Lagonda and the front looks to be pure Aston Martin.
It looks very similar to the Aston Martin DB1 sports on the body and split screen it also has the same style bonnet.


Any help to find out more information on this car would be gratefully appreciated

My telephone number is

Kind Regards Jeremy
