About the Lagonda 16/ 80.
The Lagonda 16/ 80 was a British sports-touring car built by Lagonda between 1932 and 1934 as a successor to the company’s earlier 2-litre four-cylinder model. It combined sporting performance with comfortable touring ability and was aimed at discerning drivers of the day. Around 261–267 cars were built in all body styles.
The engine was a 1, 991 cc overhead-valve six-cylinder unit supplied by Crossley Motors — the only Lagonda model to use an externally made engine, although Lagonda completely reworked each unit before fitting it. The “16” refers to the fiscal horsepower rating; the “80” is often considered to reflect the car’s claimed top speed of about 80 mph (This Lagonda has reach 80MPH).
Transmission came in the form of a four-speed gearbox or, from 1933, an optional E. N. V. preselector gearbox. This Lagonda has a pre selctor fitted but also comes with the original 4-speed box should the new owner want to change it back at any time. In 1932 the Lagonda16/ 80 was introduced and in 1934, production ended with only about 261–267 cars made. In classic-car circles today, the 16/ 80 is admired for its combination of pre-war elegance, sporting intent and rarity— as the Lagonda 16/ 80 is an appealing piece of British motoring history.
