1952 LAGONDA 3.0 DROP HEAD COUPE

Looking absolutely splendid in the superb colour scheme of Green with contrasting Cream 
interior and soft top, this beautiful old Lagonda is a real head-turner.

The DHC of the 1950’s is a rare animal and it is believed that this 1951 Lagonda has been

 up-rated from the standard 2.6 Litre engine of that year to match the 3.0 specification 

introduced in 1953. The Lagonda 3.0 Litre was a 140 bhp version of the twin overhead camshaft Lagonda Straight-6 engine designed by Walter Owen Bentley.

The DHC was bodied by Tickford and featured an independent suspension set-up using coil springs at the front and torsion bars at the rear. At introduction it was believed to be the only all-independently sprung British car. 

With real presence and a stately drive, this is British classic motoring at it’s most elegant.

1927 MORRIS OXFORD FLAT NOSE
TV STAR

This lovely old 1927 Morris Oxford Flatnose has the most fascinating history. 
First delivered to Mr A J Hammond on 22nd June 1927 it was subsequently “sold for scrap” in 1964!

Fortunately it was not broken up, but was in fact saved by a Mr Ralph Ferrie of Brownhills, Staffs. and some time later in 1973 it was “adopted” by the viewers of ATV Today, the nightly news programme. A total, televised, ground up restoration then ensued. It was even christened “Harriet” and introduced to the storyline of TV soap “Crossroads”

The ATV restoration is included in the extensive history file in the form of the most incredible DVD. They even manage to interview one of the car’s early owners!
