Recognized by the Lagonda register
The car up for auction is a 1937 Lagonda with the licence plate number LG45 DHC. It was imported to Italy in 2014 and registered in Rome. Despite being almost 100 years old, it is complete and in fair aesthetic and functional condition. This model is very rare today, with only 278 ever produced, and currently only 93 remaining according to the Lagonda register. This particular car is the cabriolet version, which was very popular in the USA. The car underwent a conservative restoration in 2021 that strictly followed the original specifications. The bodywork, chassis, soft top, and interior upholstery were restored, and the correct materials for the model were used. The car was repainted in its original black colour, and there are invoices available for the work that was carried out. The car now has significantly improved drivability, thanks to some modifications that have been made to it. It has an excellent starting point and can now be driven with relative ease compared to a contemporary car from 1927. The modifications include an ignition system with coils and distributors, as well as an electronic ignition. In addition to these, a power assistance system has been installed on the steering wheel components, further enhancing the overall driving experience.
The Lagonda register maintains a record of all brand owners and provides support for restorations and meetings.
The engine and all accessories appear to be original equipment.
The battery switch and the direction indicators are not original
