About this car

The Lagonda Rapier was a small, light sports car built in very limited numbers: only 330 left the Lagonda works, with a further 46 made by Rapier Cars Ltd. This 1934 example is powered by an 1,104cc twin-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine made for Lagonda by Coventry Climax.

It carries a sports tourer body by Abbott, fitted to the chassis in 1950 to make room for a growing family. The original body was a two-seat Eagle. The pre-select gearbox is an early form of semi-automatic that allows quick changes without a crash-gear shift.

The page describes the car as fully restored. It was first registered to a Mr P Gibbs in Worthing. No mileage, registration or owner count is given.
