Not very helpful in the description side of things, are they. Suspect it must be a DB Lagonda, with the Feltham address. But surely the Lagonda Club compliment slip would indicate this is an early Club copy, as opposed to an original. From what I've seen of DB handbooks, the binding doesn't appear to be "original" either.

it's definitely not an original or a copy of a DB handbook (I think I have examples of them all i.e. 2 x versions of 2.6, 1 x version 3 litre, 1 x temporary 3 litre, 1 x Rapide).

I believe that it is a copy of the LG45 handbook made by the Lagonda Club post war. To assist the reader, the creator seems to have stuck in a label, giving up to date company contact details (post war, post David Brown), over the original Staines address details.
