10667 DThe Rapier was the smallest offering by Lagonda in the 1930s, and it was fitted with an all-new 1104cc twin overhead camshaft four-cylinder engine.
Consultant designer Thomas Ashcroft was given the not inconsiderable task of producing ‘Britain’s finest 1100cc engine’.
The engine was originally intended to be cast in light alloy but to save cost it was eventually made in cast iron using the original patterns.
A respectable 50bhp was produced and engine production was sub-contracted to Coventry Climax; the power unit was complimented by a four-speed pre-select gearbox and Girling rod brakes.
Most cars like this example were fitted with bodies by Abbott Ltd of Farnham.This Rapier was first registered in December 1934 in Greenock, supplied by Burton & Tweedy in Scotland.
There are gaps in this Lagonda’s early history, but we understand that it changed hands several time...
