Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 4 speed, rear seat tables, driving lights, fender mirrors, steel wheels, AM SW radio. Usable but flawed older restoration. Flawed clearcoat repaint, worn but sound interior. Chassis was restored to like new condition and now shows some use and age. An exceptional automobile that needs nothing to be a great tour car this summer. One of a featured 9 car Aston Martin collection.

Market commentary

Among all the cars in this collection this was far and a way the best value. It is rare, distinctive, and the top goes down. DB Astons are a dime a dozen compared with this Lagonda and its W.O. Bentley designed engine. A rare, elegant and practical postwar design one of the first to come to market this is inherently a very good value even though the car itself is rather tired.
