Condition
From the Ron Rezek collection. Replacement engine. One of 17 V-12 Rapides built. Shown at Pebble Beach. Very good paint and chrome. Excellent interior with almost no sign of use. Exquisite interior wood. Tiny ding on the front bumper. Straight body and even gaps. A proven concours car that wasn't done yesterday and probably wouldn't win at the highest level, but it's still high quality top to bottom and inside and out, and could still be shown.
Market commentary
Visually striking in the class of Alfa Two-Nines, with performance to match, this is an underappreciated marque and model, although not lost on contemporary owners like Briggs Cunningham. The paintwork on Ron Rezek's Lagonda add to its visual effect and made an impression on the Pebble Beach auction bidders, not to mention its excellent condition, and brought a deserved handsome price.
