Lagonda - Lagonda 2 litre (14/60)
The 14/60 Lagonda, better known as the 2 litre Lagonda, was introduced in 1926. Its engine was a 4 cylinder unit of 1954cc capacity and it's bore size of 72mm meant it fell into the 14hp road tax category. The engine had twin camshafts high in the block, operating pushrods and rockers to the overhead valves, much on the same principle as that used by Percy Rileys design. From 1927 a 2 litre Speed Model was introduced which had a more powerful engine, now placed furthger back in the chassis frame, coupled with lighter bodywork to make use of that extra power. These 2 litre Speed Models were further revised in 1929 when the chassis frames were altered to make the "Low chassis" 2 litre Lagonda. Production went on to 1933 when the 6 cylinder version took over - the engines for these cars now being outsourced.
Tyre size for the Lagonda 2 litre was originally quoted 525x21. The best tyre to use now is the Blockley 525x21 which offers a authentic period look, coupled with being a fantastic quality tyre.
