Guys,
Last weekend I was in Florida for a few days with my wife Lise and daughter Danika.
Since I had met Rodney in Belgium at the LagondaFest 2009, I send him an e-mail ahead of time to see if he wanted to have dinner with us.
He replied that he would so we did.
We had the first Lagondafest held in Florida! Rodney lives in Coconut Grove, just south of Miami and we were in Ft-Lauderdale, about one hour north of there.
We had a wonderfull time with Rodney and was I in for a surprise after dinner (and a few martinis) when I saw Rodney's Lagonda. It is by far the best exemple around!
Pristine condition and original! I will confirm the serial number but it is LOOL 133.. 27(maybe) and only has 1400 milles from new!!! for a 1985 car! That is an average of 56 miles per year and they were driven on a 5 miles per month basis since Rodney got it when it had 900 miles on the odometer...
Here are two pictures I took :

Was anybody aware of the gem Rodney keeps in his garage?

Wow !
This puts it in the same quality bracket as Jane's Lagonda 13622.
