History:

This Lagonda LG45 was originally supplied through the official London Lagonda dealer Kevill-Davies & March Ltd on 28 Berkeley street. Co-owner of this dealership was the then Earl of March (Freddie March, the 9th Duke of Richmond and Gordon). The car was first registered as DLR5 in January 1937 in London.

This Lagonda has been serviced by the factory until 1951 where several documented upgrades, modifications, service and repairs have been performed. From 1966 onwards the car spent its life in the USA and in 2008 it was re-imported back into Europe.
