Subject: Re: Anyone know about this 16/80 Tourer? Quote by Rich5ltr: Chaps, following on from my initial post above, having now read much more about these particular cars, and lagonda in general, I notice that they are sometimes referred to as the Lagonda 16/80 S Type Special Six. Firstly hello everyone, I have recently joined this forum as I am looking to enter the world of Lagonda ownership... Is that the full and correct name of the car or does the "Special" bit suggest there were variants on the theme? Other than the body style - tourer/saloon and cycle wings vs swept wings differences.

Subject: Re: Anyone know about this 16/80 Tourer? Hi Richard; According to Davey and May's book, the factory decided to call the 16/80 the "Special Six". The chassis and engine numbers are prefixed with an "S", probably explaining the term "S type". So no, it doesn't indicate a special version of the model. Nice cars, but I'm of course prejudiced!
