History of the Lagonda 2.6-Litre
The Lagonda 2.6-Litre is a car manufactured by Lagonda in the United Kingdom from 1948 to 1953. It was the company's debut model after being purchased by David Brown in 1947, and it was dubbed the 2.6 Litre for the new straight-6 engine that debuted with the automobile. W. O. Bentley created the so-called Lagonda straight-6 engine, which would drive Lagonda's new parent firm, Aston Martin, to commercial success.
The 2.6-Litre was a bigger vehicle than the Aston Martins built during David Brown's ownership, and it was offered as a 4-door saloon and, beginning in 1949, like a 2-door drophead coupé, both with four passengers. Tickford, which was not part of Aston Martin at the time, bodied the drophead. In 1952, a Mark II saloon version was introduced, with engine power raised to 125 horsepower. Despite being an expensive car and being released soon after the second world war. The 2.6L sold relatively well, with 510 examples produced by the time manufacturing ceased in 1953.
