Advertisement Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Hi elansprint72, Take a look here Lagonda/self portrait . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted May 14, 2007 Share #2 Posted May 14, 2007 Pete - Excellent eyeball bender type shot. One of the prior Lagonda owners was a bit short on pride of ownership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted May 15, 2007 Share #3 Posted May 15, 2007 Nice one Pete - Was that the bonnet of a Rapier ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted May 15, 2007 Stuart, Tony, Thanks for commenting. I think this was an LG45, or something of that approx vintage. There was a fabulous 50s Rapier at the show but I seem to have failed to get a photo- maybe Steve Unsworth has one? ......Steve it was a dark red car with beige hood, on the main lawn near the "lake", iirc! Main problem for me at this local show is that I spend so much time catching up with folks that I miss the money-shots. It's much easier to work incognito at a place further away from home.

stunsworth Posted May 15, 2007 Share #5 Posted May 15, 2007 Hi Pete, I'm not sure. I don't think so, but I'd need to go through my shots from the day before I could say one way or the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted May 19, 2007 Share #6 Posted May 19, 2007 Pete - I'm pretty certain Rapiers were only made before the war. They had an indestructible engine and when tuned were very quick.but they are a bit small inside but not as bad as a Riley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted May 20, 2007 Share #8 Posted May 20, 2007 If it wasnt for the top of the grill creeping into the bottom of frame the image is so shiny it looks photoshopped. Cool one. Did it make it into melons? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted May 20, 2007 Share #9 Posted May 20, 2007 Hi Pete, I've had a look and the only Lagonda shots I have are of the car below - also something of a self portrait I guess <grin> [ATTACH]38282[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony, the Rapier I'm thinking of was the Lagonda version of the DB2, I don't think it sold at all well, though I seem to think that the Duke of Edinburgh had one. iirc it had a WO Bentley 2.5 ltr engine. I wish that I had taken the photo now, I can't find an image of it anywhere on the web! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should do more of this stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted May 21, 2007 Share #12 Posted May 21, 2007 Clever composition, and a very, very nice shot, Pete. Yours too, Stuart. I've got one around here someplace of myself in the chrome headlight of a Duesenberg or something. Got to find that thing... Thanks. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
