Nice start of a very interesting collection of hyperlinks! Where did you find all this? All with the help of google, or is there another good starting point?

I'd be very happy to get positive identification of the Magnum Force car. There is also one other known to have been in a film but not in imdb

I googled 'lagonda rapide on film' and it all came up. The imcdb.org site is full of film related stuff. Was hoping I could find a picture of the Rapide I remember from the 1970s in Kingsbury motors.

I have a very charming addition to this collection. See this movie which gives a 9 minute review of highlights of 1962 where the Rapide is on show at 0:44 (only for 3 seconds but nevertheless it is there prominently):

Just for your info, your first link has an incorrect date:

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_92301-Lagonda-Rapide-1962.html

This link is for Doctor in Distress, it features LR126, which was the car owned by the producer, Peter Rogers and the date is 1963. The car was sold on 8th March 1963.

The short Pathe film, in black and white, and this section is for the October (?) 1962 London motor-show.

The Lagonda with number plate which spells out the word "Rapide", so no identification as to car. Although I would hazard a guess that someone might know which car was the Motor Show car that year ?

If it's the 1962 Motor Show, and yes I appreciate the Pathe film is monochrome, but what colour might the interior be - fawn or red or neither?

Hi SRD, I wondered about that since it was logical that the Peter Rogers car would have been used as a 'prop' during filming. Has it had a registration number change during its life, since the number appears to be different to that on the car you're now restoring?

The car is currently on its 3rd registration.

The 2nd registration was also a personal number which was retained by the second owner.

Once I get a little more organised I hope to reclaim the original number back.
