BACKGROUND TO THE NEW LAGONDA 16/80 :- Based on the chassis of the proceeding and very short-lived 2-litre Continental four-cylinder model whose overall style and good looks it retained, the six-cylinder 16/80 was new for the 1933 season. The 16/80 employed a 1991cc overhead valve Crossley engine - reworked by Lagonda to their own specification and could be ordered with conventional four speed manual or pre-selector gearboxes enabling swift and easy gear changes. The Autocar liked Lagonda‘s new medium size model which took its name from the 16hp RAC rating and 80mph top speed - remarking on its silence, smoothness, brisk acceleration, and effortless high speed cruising. Three body styles were available; a Weymann panelled saloon, a rakish three-door tourer body with driver’s seat cut down panel as found on racing cars of the era, and a two seater sport designed by Vanden Plas & built by Lagonda. Approximately 260 models of all 16/80 types were made, of which it is believed around half survive.
