1936 Lagonda LG45 Tourer
Chassis 12043 is a 1936 Lagonda LG45 open tourer, one of only around 25 built in that body style and among perhaps 17 known survivors. Wearing coachwork by Lagonda's in-house designer Frank Feely, it is powered by the competition-proven 4.5-litre Meadows inline-six developed under W.O. Bentley's direction. Believed to have been ordered new by Donald H. Ogilvy of Scotland, the car emigrated to the United States while relatively young and has remained in American private collections ever since.
