This 1939 Lagonda LG6 is one of just six LG6 Rapide Dropheads built. The best part is that this car is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner, whether it’s on tours, concours or rallies.
The LG6 comes with a well-documented history. It was featured in the book “Lagonda,” published in 1996.
Lagonda collector, enthusiast and marque expert Bernd Holthusen restored the car in 1999. The seller notes: “The paintwork has held up remarkably well since the restoration, showing only a few minor marks from use, but remaining glossy, straight and handsome. The dark green leather has a handsome patina from regular use, lightly creased, inviting and perfectly broken in.”
Holthusen made improvements during the restoration, such as installing a replacement, strengthened cylinder block; balanced rotating assembly; hardened valve seats for sustained high-speed runs on unleaded petrol; a water pump with modern ceramic bearings and seals; and updated axles with modern-type lip seals.
