Tan Convertible Top 51,154 Miles Shown on Odometer 2.6L Straight 6
Inline Engine 3 Speed Manual Transmission RWD Founded by American
native Walter Gunn in 1906, Lagonda was a British manufacturer of
luxury cars was the first vehicle selling in 1907.The company was
acquired by Aston Martin, then under the direction of David Brown,
in 1947. The Lagonda 2.6L was produced from 1948 to 1953, with the
vast majority of the 510 units being four-door four-seater
sedans.In 1949 Lagonda contracted with Tickford, at that time not a
part of the Aston Martin family, to body a very limited number of
four-seater two-door drophead coupes.For an expensive car entering
production so soon after WWII, sales were comparatively robust and
provided the company with a larger vehicle than the smaller Aston
Martin. Research leads us to believe this 1950 Lagonda Drophead
Coupe is one of 10 vehicles known to exist.The red livery is nicely
accented by a classic tan leather interior with rich woodgrain
appointments befitting such a rare vehicle.In every way, this car
presents very well and is a remarkable example of a post-WWII
British luxury car.This Lagonda 2.6L embodies the spirit of the era
and would be a welcome addition to any portfolio. FUN FACT:Although
the name "Lagonda" sounds Italian in origin, Gunn actually named
the company for a Shawnee settlement near his birthplace of
Springfield, OH.
