The history of this rare Tourer is known and documented all the way back to 1983 when it was purchased by the English gentleman G.O. Jensen from Newport through specialist Peter Whenman. In 1984 the coachwork and the engine were restored by Whenman and Jensen then kept the car until 1996 when it was bought by Eduard Vleugels, a Belgian gentleman living in the UK. The new owner entrusted all maintenance to Belgian Lagonda specialists LMB racing in Wommelgem. They part-restored the body in 2005 and in 2006 the engine was rebuilt and converted to “superfast” specs with forged pistons and conrods and enlarged to 2.4 litres with a resulting 115 hp (a considerable increase from the original 70 hp!). In 2009 the Lagonda was finally bought and imported into Switzerland by the current owner. In the last ten years he enjoyed the car in a variety of events. This well-maintained car, in good condition throughout, is now ready to thrill its next lucky keeper and the most recent Veteran-MOT was completed in 2015.
