It looks like that car is not quite as it would seem. If this is the same one, it has already been got at.

...actually it says it has never been restored before.  |

Totally right Ray, I misread that.

Not something that everyone would approve of but there is always the potential to create a replica 'March Special'. That way you keep the essence of the Marque but add something of value.

Some people live in cloud-cuckoo land!
This Lagonda 16/80 - probably the least-desirable of pre-war Lagondas - is estimated at ?70,000-90,000 - whose going to pay that (plus sales commission) when a 3-litre isn't selling at less than ?40,000?

I think what it shows is that Auction Houses are all over the place when it comes to their pre sale estimates.
That 3 litre certainly looks like it is reasonably priced...although I am not sure I am very keen on the blue, black and red combination! |
