|
|
Some points to check before buying :
The body is in alloy, but check the sills (iron).
The cooling system needs to work perfectly ( no noisy waterpump, clean water/antifreeze, clean radiator... )
The airconditioning works sometimes strangely
The CRTs ( TV screens ) need a lot of money to reborn if they don't work.
Good points :
The engine is rock-solid if well maintained and little oil leaks are not unusual.
The electric/electronic system is not so complicated as one says if you just need to drive the car ( without everything operative, otherwise be prepared to spend some money )
The Lagonda is a generous old diva and needs to be cared as a nice and pretty young woman if you want to get it/her for you only.
Enjoy it ! _________________ Welcome to Paradise ! (FRONT 242)

The engine is rock solid but do check those engine mountings, prone to rust, cracking and eventually breakage.
Vincent, you seem to have a good experience with young pretty ladies, why not share with friends... |

That was in a far past, when I weighted 40 lbs less... _________________ Welcome to Paradise ! (FRONT 242)
