Lagonda was founded towards the end of the last century by an American, Wibur Gunn, who began with motorbikes, and went on to de luxe cars. In one sense therefore the tradition has been continue, since in 1947 the firm was bought by David Brown, which already owned Aston-Martin.
The 1927 2-litre model (officially launched at the 1925 London Motor Show) had double overhead camshaft and hemispherical combustion chambers. The engine developed around 60 bhp. Its maximum speed was somewhat over 60 mph. There was also a sporting version of the 14-60, the Speed Model, which could reach close to 80 mph. This came as a 4-seater coupé , or 2 4-door sedans. The failure of the Rapier in 1935 brought Lagonda into difficulties. Alan Good rescued it, putting the technical side under the charge of Walter Owen Bentley, to whom he entrusted the design of new models. In 1937 V-12 engines with double overhead camshaft were introduced, and these produced a car that was fast (maximum speed of over 100 mph), silent, comfortable, and elegant.
