The British firm of Lagonda became famous in the 1920s and 1930s for its range of exceptionally handsome and effective sporting cars. They were beautifully made and, though a little heavy, offered spirited performance combined with stamina at high speed. Today, they are highly prized for these qualities and for the elegance of their bodies. This is the first ever book devoted exclusively to these early models.
