Vintage Cars For Sale

This is a very exciting project that needs finishing. All the hard work has been done, it’s mechanically complete and restored. Engine has been started basically needing painting, trimming and wiring. One of the black and white pictures shows this car in period at Brooklands wearing #15. And as of 11th June 2025, the engine is now up and running, has all been set up and the car is now drivable.

The 1928 LAGONDA High Chassis is an extremely successful conversion which has been proven on many events such as London to Cape Town, Peking to Paris and many other long distance events and still retains all of the fantastic characteristics and details of the High Chassis car. It’s light and nimble with fantastic performance.
