Established in Staines in 1906, Lagonda was named after a creek in Ohio that was near to the birthplace of the company's American founder, Wilbur Gunn. After modest successes at low volume motorcycle manufacture and racing, he turned his attention to motor cars and launched the 1907 Torpedo 20hp. 1913 saw the arrival of the smaller 11. 1hp model. From those humble beginnings, the Lagonda marque evolved into one of Britain's foremost luxury motor car manufacturers, producing a long line of superbly built, elegant sporting models until its merger with Aston Martin in 1947.
The Lagonda 11. 9HP was produced from 1918-1923 and has the same body/ chassis construction as the earlier 11. 1HP model but with a larger 1420cc engine. Of the 4025 there are fewer than 40 known survivors world wide only a third of these are known about/ owned by members of the 'Lagonda Club' making this an ultra rare vehicle.
The current owner of this car has had it for the last 35 years. it has 4 cylinder, overhead inlet valves, side valve exhaust, magnito ignition, 3 speed gear box and rear wheel brakes only. Comes with a set 5 of original wheels and some tools.
