The Lagonda club records the car as a 3 Litre Special Sports registered 15/8/1932. The three litre is praised by vintage enthusiasts as being Lagonda in its finest form and the marque carries a fantastic provenance from the Le Mans winning cars of the late 1920s. From longterm ownership this fine sporting Lagonda is a credit to its previous custodian. This genuine Lagonda sports is the epitome of vintage sports motoring and its rarity makes it a truly sought after machine worldwide.

Finished in excellent British racing green with green leather interior. This is a very correct and competent motorcar in fine mechanical form and finished to a very high standard. Very rarely does a correct sporting Lagonda come to market and this is a great opportunity to own a piece of automotive history with style and pace and eligible for VSCC and other events.
