1929 Lagonda 14/50 Two-Litre

In 1926, the Lagonda 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.'
