3-Litre Lagonda 1953–1958
- In the '50s Pirelli made the Stella Bianca which was the go-to performance crossply tyre for many European sports car manufacturers, today it is the highest speciation crossply in that size, and handles superbly.

History of the Lagonda 3-Litre
The Lagonda 3-Litre is a car manufactured by Aston Martin Lagonda from 1953 to 1958. It was the second Lagonda model produced by David Brown/Aston Martin. The 3-Litre was equipped with a larger 140 horsepower version of Walter Owen Bentley's double overhead camshaft Lagonda Straight-6 engine.
The inside was opulent, with polished wood for the dashboard and door trimmings and leather seats, individual in the front and a bench in the back, with a central fold-down arm rest. The front doors also had movable armrests. Standard features included a heater, radio, and built-in hydraulic jacks. There were single and two-tone paint schemes available.
