A question for Lagonda owners:
Is your car loud?
When you accelerate, is the noise level like a roadster of the 50's?
After driving 600 kms or so this weekend, I stoped by my local Muffler repair shop to get them to look at the pipes, being sure that I had a hole somewere inbetween the manifold and the tail ppe. But no all is normal...
Is it the same with your car?
PS I own my car for 3 years now, but had not yet driven 500 KMS priar to the weekend.

Well that is difficult to answer.
my Lagonda is certainly louder then my Jaguar X-type, but it is a very much different sound then my XK 120.
It is a typical Aston Martin V8 sound. Lie someone from my local Jaguar dealership said: " Mozart would drive a Lagonda".

I would have to say that mine is loud at 70+ and positively roars the faster you go. 
There is a fair bit of wind noise at the side too & heat!!  |

Francis,
Yep, it really roars when you accelerate. 
When you hit normal cruising speed the growling sound should settle down.
But yes, it sounds very different from a Jaguar. More brutal !!
Best regards,
