Subject: Re: 2.6 litre dhc at H &H
The Gray 2.6 litre dhc is now being sold again a year later at H &H. It could ideally do with a re-spray and the interior sorting out, but looks to be the basis for a good car
1951 Lagonda 2.6 Litre Drophead Coupe
Estimate: (£) 16,500 - 18,500
Reg Number: 575 MOF
Chassis Number: LAG/50/267
Engine Number: LB6A/50/327
Cc: 2580
Body Colour: Grey
Trim Colour: Brown
MOT ExpiryDate: April 2014
Purchased in 2012 as a donor car for an ongoing project but subsequently found to be "too good to break" this example of Lagonda's elegant 2.6 drophead coupe is finished in Grey with Brown leather interior. Work carried out in the current ownership includes a brake overhaul, re-commissioning of the electrics, cleaning of the fuel system and carburettors and replacement of the fuel pump with a double diaphragm unit. A compression test confirmed these to be "good" whilst the owner describes the engine as having good oil pressure and running "sweetly" whilst the transmission is "good" with "good" clutch. The bodywork is described as "very good" whilst the older repaint is "average" along with the interior. The vendor notes the tank needs flushing and the reserve solenoid is non-operational. The engine number stamped on the timing cover is LB6A/50/466 although the V5 shows LB6A/50/327. Offered with current MoT to April 2014, a copy of the build sheet, assorted old MoTs and Swansea V5C.
