Subject: Re: Wanted 1950's 2.6 or 3.0 litre Lagonda
Hi Simon
Very interested to read that you intend to carry out the work yourself. I am currently restoring a Rapide myself and despite the time, minor injuries and cost am really enjoying it. I don't know too much about the 3.0 but from what Tim says it sounds like a very different animal construction wise.
One good thing about the Rapide is that very little (if any) of the steel work was made using a press so most is fairly easy to copy with patients a well equipped workshop. I hope that when you do get hold of the right car you might be willing to share some information on the work you are doing...I find other peoples work fascinating and a good way of learning new techniques etc.
