Lagonda V12 1939 - the fastest sedan of its time

November 10, 2013 — Bruno von Rotz 93

With the 4.5 liter V12 engine, W. O. Bentley delivered his masterpiece. Together with a stable chassis and modern suspension design and brakes, the Lagonda engineers created the best saloon in England, if not the world, at the time. The V12 was available in various body styles, but just 192 were built before the war put an end to production. This driving report describes the history of the Lagonda V12 and portrays a V12 Saloon from 1939 in detail, supplemented by two original brochures and contemporary test reports.
