Description
A super example of the Lagonda Rapier Model, in fully restored condition.
This car was first registered to a Mr P Gibbs in Worthing.
Only 330 Rapiers were built by Lagonda and a further 46 car were built by Rapier Cars Ltd.
The engine, an 1104cc twin overhead cam was manufactured for Lagonda by Coventry Climax.
This body by Abbott was fitted to the chassis in the 1950 to accommodate a growing family, the original body being a 2-seater Eagle.
The gearbox and selector are pre-select, a form of early semi-automatic, very fast change, avoiding crash gear change.
A super, light, fast sports tourer with good road manners.
A very pretty motor car.
