Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a unique 1939 Lagonda 4½-Litre LG6 Touring Limousine with coachwork by Barker & Co, one of only two bodied with four-door enclosed coachwork by Barker, and the sole survivor. The car has a rich history, including time spent in the USA, and has been extensively re-commissioned, though it retains some modifications from its past.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in generally good condition. It appears never to have been restored but did incorporate some modifications including coil rather than magneto ignition, sealed beam headlight inserts, and alterations to the hydraulic systems. The Lagonda was extensively re-commissioned with the ignition system, fuel system, rear axle, dynamo, starter motor, radiator (re-cored), water pump, clutch, gearbox, brakes and shock absorbers all receiving attention, while the engine's bottom-end was checked and the cylinder head overhauled.

It is almost uncannily easy to take this car round bends at high speeds and at the same time the insulation offered to passengers is of the highest order.' - The Autocar , 17th June 1938.
By the mid-1930s, cars using the proprietary Meadows engine were seen as the way forward for Lagonda.
The first of these - the M45, introduced in 1934 - deployed Meadows' 4½-litre, twin-plug 'six' to good effect, saloons being capable of reaching 90mph and tourers the 'ton' under favourable conditions.
Under the great W O Bentley's technical direction the big Lagonda became more refined, gaining synchromesh gears, flexible engine mounts and centralised chassis lubrication among many other improvements.
The ultimate expression of the big, Meadows-engined Lagonda - the LG6 - arrived in 1937.
