1939 Lagonda V12
As a replacement
to the LG45, W.O. Bentley commissioned a new V12 for the Lagonda marque.
It was a product of high grade materials such as Chromidium, Duralumin
and aluminum to operate under any conditions.
Alan Good at Lagonda revised the chassis to include independent front suspension that let the V12 sit low in the chassis.
Compared to the previous Lagondas, the V12 was lower, longer and wider which made the car much more dramatic.
It didn't take long before two special-bodied Lagondas were prepared for Le Mans that finished 3rd and 4th overall for the factory team.
Throughout the war, the V12 engine was used for the British Navy until the factory was leveled in 1944 by the Germans.
