This 1939 Lagonda LG6 4½ Litre Drophead Coupé is a used car showing 14,045 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Dark blue with a Blue interior.
Delivered on 12 September 1939, the car went first to Colonel Mark Mayhew, a pioneer of motor sport who had raced in the Gordon Bennett contest and the Paris–Madrid event. It was in Nottingham by 1959, and in 1963 it crossed to the United States, where Harold Happe, American secretary of the Lagonda Club, bought it.
It still has its original engine, so it is a matching-numbers example. A well-known Belgian pre-war specialist restored the body, paint, chrome and interior and continues to maintain it, and recent invoices record extensive mechanical work. The history file holds period photographs, magazine articles featuring this car, an original sales brochure, invoices and correspondence.
The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.
The Lagonda LG6 uses the 4,453 cc Meadows straight-six with pushrod-operated overhead valves, carried over from the LG45, with a single dry-plate clutch and a four-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. The chassis is the V12's, lengthened by 3.5 inches, with independent torsion-bar front suspension and Lockheed hydraulic brakes. Twin long trumpet horns beside the grille set it apart from the V12.
