Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1938 Lagonda LG6, first registered as FMA 52, boasts a Straight-six engine and a rich history, including time in the US before returning to the UK. Recent work includes a repaint, interior refurbishment, and new tires, though the leather is original and treated. This rare car is being sold due to the owner's age.
Condition
6
Based on the description, the car has had a repaint 11 years ago and interior refurbishment 3 years ago, indicating ongoing maintenance. While the leather was treated rather than replaced, it's noted to be in very good condition. The presence of new tires suggests recent attention to mechanical upkeep. However, the description is 'Not Verified' and relies on the vendor's statements, which may not fully reflect the car's actual condition. The work performed since repatriation to the UK is significant and speaks to the care it has received.

The Lagonda LG6 is a large car produced by Lagonda from 1937 to 1940, and was announced at the 1937 London Motor Show.
The LG6 chassis is based on the one used on the V12 model, lengthened by 3.5 in to cater for the longer engine fitted.
Suspension is independent torsion bar front suspension and live rear axle with Spiral bevel gear final drive, and the braking system is Lockheed hydraulic.
The 4453 cc Straight-six engine, with pushrod operated overhead valves, was bought in from Henry Meadows of Wolverhampton and previously used in the LG45 model.
Drive is to the rear wheels through a single dry plate clutch and four-speed gearbox.
Standard coachwork included Saloon, Tourer, Coupé and Sedanca styles.
The Tourer was also available in Rapide version, and had a higher compression ratio engine, but only two were sold.
The car can be distinguished from the V12 by the twin long trumpet horns on either side of the radiator grille.
67 of the short chassis and 18 long chassis were made...
