A barn find. Sold new in UK ( first owner ? ) in may 1980, registered SGN778V until now. Was imported in the USA by WAI KWONG LEE and conformed to federal laws by EUROCONVERSIONS ( when ?).
I bought the car on ebay late 2008 from Nick Candee ( AMOC North America Chairman ) with the idea to get spares from it for my first Lag' 13295.
The restoration began februari 2010, but the progression is now very slow due to 13295, 13207 & 13171 which need some cares at this time... Laughing
The sills were not so bad and are already redone, as the front suspension and other motoring works; we are now busy with the electrics, and the car also leaned some parts permitting 13171 to join LAGONDA V82010.

Before I bought it :

More later. Cool

The problem is well known, and I only checked the right side ( not damaged ) where aluminium was damaged.
On the left side, the rear wheel arch is rotten, despite the fact nothing appeared wrong...
Not dramatic but needs some cure... Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad
