£32,200 for a huge car. Mileage ? I dont think the story was very watertight and it will take some rebuiilding. I doubt this car will be seen together again

The price of seemingly reasonable Lagonda's does seem to be have taken something of a tumble at the moment, excluding the V12 limo.

The LG6 limo at H&H sold for £37k, and that was a good looking car

The 2.6 saloon also at H&H in immaculate condition sold for £15 k

The well known Lagonda 16/80 sold at a pittance for £40 k

The LG45 Replica which was in excellent order, failed to sell

The 2.0 litre low chassis failed to sell, bidding stopped at £60 k, but that maybe due to a the wrong engine being present and an over-cooked estimate.

A 2.0 litre low chassis at Bonham's, albeit with a clutch problem sold for £57 k, again Caveat Emptor with this one.

Now this V12 limo, complete and in a much better state than the previous eBay V12 car, with a running engine at £33 k. The vendors were offered much more at the end of last year. However, you look at it, this was a very cheap V12

Two auctions, do not make a deflated bubble, it will be interesting to see what happens to prices over the next six months.

You cannot judge prices on these cars I feel. Both the V 12's were probably the least desirable ones there are followed by the LG 6 limo which was not any better.
I also think the 2 litre did very well indeed considering the problems.

Nicely done cars especially with a real history and not an auctioneers possible history are still commanding high prices.
