In Depth: Lagonda LG6 Drophead Coupe

Описание: The ultimate expression of the big, Meadows-engined Lagonda - the LG6 - arrived in 1937. Announced at the same time as the Bentley-designed V12, the LG6 used a similar, diagonally cross-braced chassis featuring independent front suspension using unequal length wishbones and torsion bars. Regardless of the style of body fitted, the LG6 was good for around 100mph, only 82 LG6s were produced of which around 50 are documented by the Lagonda Club today.

This striking LG6 is offered in excellent condition, the paintwork holds a high level of sheen and the engine runs beautifully and has covered a mere 500 miles since being rebuilt by the renowned David Wall. A large history file accompanies GPD 558 and dates back to the 50’s.

Over 30 years ago the tiny hamlet of Red Row Beamish became the unlikely home of Aston Martin restoration in the North. In the outbuildings surrounding his stone farmhouse, Aston Workshop founder Bob Fountain’s home restoration of his personal DB5 was the first stage in a decades long obsession with all things Aston Martin. Fuelled by his early successes, Bob’s ambitious nature and love of building projects soon meant that more space was being constructed nearby in order to work on more cars simultaneously and employ more staff with the specialist skills needed to pursue the very best engineering and restoration solutions for his growing customer base.

Nowadays, on a former sheep field to the east of the farmhouse, Aston Workshop has progressively extended that first newly built workshop and now occupies a comprehensive 45,000 square feet facility on it’s 37 acre site. The business employs a 45-strong workforce with an incredibly diverse range of skills, a number of whom were trained at Aston Martin’s headquarters. Bob remains in the driver’s seat, surrounded by dedicated staff who share his passion and enthusiasm. Three decades of experience ensure a deep understanding of all eras of Aston Martin from pre-war classics to present-day supercars, and we are renowned for our outstanding craftmanship, ingenious engineering solutions and unique range of services.

Aston Workshop can offer everything from complete restorations of vintage, classic and heritage cars to servicing and diagnostics of the very latest models by our factory trained technicians. Our on-site facilities have grown to include two showrooms with 80 car capacity, service bays, comprehensive restoration workshop, trim shop, body shop, engine assembly room and dyno, state-of-the-art spray booths, parts manufacturing and parts distrubution. Having everything under one roof ensures continuity from the start to finish of projects, as well as the most rigorous quality control. After such a long time in the Beamish countryside, just a stone’s throw from its world famous open air museum, it is hard to imagine the local area without the daily sight and sound of Aston Martins on its winding country lanes.
