In 1926, the company introduced a new car - the 14/50 - which was a departure from their previous models. It was a more refined car, a roomy and smooth touring car that later became the company's well-known 'Two-Litre' car. This unusual car had an engine with hemispherical heads and a five-bearing crankshaft, a well made chassis and efficient brakes. The 2-liter kept the same engine, but included slightly higher compression and a four seater with fabric bodywork. In 1929, the Two-Liter was offered on a low chassis with cycle type front fenders (which turn with the wheels). Gunn's company continued to make almost all of their parts and the cars (which were similar in size and weight to W.O. Bentley cars) came to be known as 'poor man's Bentleys.'
2007 was the Lagonda's 23rd year at Monterey. For the last 28 years, both in the US and the UK, she has been used extensively for races, rallies, vacations and shopping. The car has never been restored and still has the original fabric covered body. © 1998-2009. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
