Lagonda LG45 Sports Saloon - This is a very rare and desirable Lagonda LG45 Sports Saloon featuring pillarless doors (one of just 16 built with this body). With factory records having disappeared long ago, very little is known about it's very early history other than it was first registered in London 17th July 1936.

All ownership history from 1947 onwards is known, the last owner having kept it as part of his small collection for in excess of 30 years. Sympathetically restored some 15 years ago and little used since.  Particulary pleasing, is the interior, which is most likely original and shows a wonderful patina. Just back from having been fully re-commissioned by a marque specialist.

A matching number car with no significant changes from it's original factory specification.

Singer Nine Le Mans  - The success of the Nine Sport at Le Mans led immediately to the introduction in 1933 of the first Le Mans model. This was the two seater equivalent of the Nine Sports and it typified the British sports car of the 1930’s. At a price of 215 pounds, an output of 34 h.p. and a top speed of over 70 m.p.h. with the windshield lowered, it provided keen competition for its closest rivals, the J2 and P series M.G.’s.

The Le Mans 4 cylinder performance engine of 972 cc included high lift harmonic cams, a counterbalanced crankshaft and an extra large capacity ribbed oil sump for greater cooling capacity. Additional drive train modifications included a heavy duty clutch and a closer ratio gear box, with third gear reduced from 8.7:1 to 7.5:1. Body changes included the addition of an externally mounted 12 gallon slab fuel tank, fitted with a quick action filler cap and twin rear mounted spare tires to complete the competition look. The new upswept scuttle cowls also signaled that this was a machine that meant business on the road as well as the track. The first 60 cars were built with 'Suicide' type doors. Of these, less than a handful of cars are known to still exist in their original configuration. This is one of those.

According to the Singer production records this car left the factory on the 3rd November 1933 and  sold by their agent  Armour & Melvin, Dundee who delivered it to their customer Leslie McDonald. Leslie was a very accomplished Trials, Rally and Hill Climb competitor and campaigned the car during the ’34, ‘35’ & ’36 seasons with many well documented class wins. Homologation not being an issue with these type of events, it is believed that the engine was modified in period with SU carburettors which were by all accounts quite a common race modification. Leslie had the notable distinction of  a class win in the 1936 Bo’Ness Hill Climb and 4th in class and SSCC prize in the 1936 Scottish Rally.  Having spent many years in storage, it was comprehensively restored  by marque specialists over a two year period and has covered a nominal mileage since it’s completion in 2008 

This car comes with a very large and well documented history file including competitions entered and results plus a large assortment of useful spares.

Of these, less than a handful of cars are known to still exist in their original configuration. This is one of those.

According to the Singer production records this car left the factory on the 8th November 1933 and sold by their agent Bates Autos who delivered it to their customer Mr. Reime on the 9th. However, intriguingly, it wasn’t registered in England until November 1937 which leads one to believe it most likely went to mainland Europe. Close inspection of the bonnet shows that it has obviously been a serious race car at some time. The specially fabricated light weight aluminium bonnet has been designed to accept a side exhaust and sculpted to accept bonnet straps (presumably to aid it's aerodynamics). Despite extensive research we have, as yet, been unable to unearth it’s racing history – the prospect of solving this mystery is something it’s new owner will no doubt relish. 

It was acquired by a young  lady  as an 18th birthday present in 1958 coloured red and still fitted with cycle wings. Between 1985 & 1992, it was the subject of a full professional body off restoration by marque experts and has covered a very nominal mileage since. Always maintained without regard to cost during more than 52 years of continuous ownership. 

This car comes with a very large and well documented history file.
