AI Listing Summary
This 1951 Lagonda 2.6 Litre Saloon, sold for £7,650, has been off the road for approximately 50 years and is offered from long-term ownership. Though it has a floor-change 4-speed gearbox conversion and comes with some historical documentation, the engine is currently dismantled, requiring significant restoration work.
Condition
3
The car is described as being 'off the road for some 50 years' and the engine is dismantled. This suggests significant mechanical issues and cosmetic wear due to long-term storage. While there are some desirable features like long-term ownership and some included paperwork, the overall condition points to a need for substantial reconditioning.

Despite Lagonda's commitment to the war effort (manufacturing specialised aeroplane components as well as general ordnance etc), their chief engineer W.O.
Bentley - ably assisted by W.G.
Watson and Donald Bastow - began work on a new car in early 1944.
Conceived as a sports saloon, the resultant design boasted an innovative cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension (coil-and-wishbone front / torsion-bar rear) and hydraulic drum brakes (inboard at the back).
Powered by an equally advanced DOHC straight-six engine featuring hemispherical combustion chambers, its flowing lines were the work in part of Frank Feeley.
Unveiled to an enthusiastic press in September 1945, production plans for the `2.5 Litre' fell foul of the prevailing `export-or-die' atmosphere with Lagonda failing to negotiate sufficient steel supplies for such a low volume, home market product.
Unable to recover financially, Lagonda was bought by industrialist David Brown in 1947.
