Best of both
this was a machine with sports-car speed and touring-car comfort. The occupants could sit well . Within the body, and the back seat was almost as comfortable as the front an unusual luxury in those days. All the upholstery was pneumatic, the back squab was deep, and there was ample leg room everywhere.
hardly shocking
the lagonda 3 litre was far from the fastest car in its field; The makers claimed a modest top speed of 80 mph, though road tests took it well above that mark. On the other hand, it could cruise at 70 mph, with just the right amount of caster action, no trace of road shock for the driver, and a pleasingly light steering touch that was flexible and smooth. It was during this
period that the lagonda captured a victory at the 24 hours of le mans.
Lagonda 3 litre combined the comfort of a touring car with the liveliness of a sportier machine. |
