Reviews:

“its detail, depth and presentation are stunning, and you’re soon captivated by the lagonda story. Pictures make this book, with 745 archive photos alone. It gives a fascinating insight into racing in the twenties and thirties, as well as studying how the cars were made. Reprints of original road tests, handbooks and build manuals add to the comprehensive coverage. Exclusive, brilliantly put together, highly desirable and expensive – but that doesn’t stop you wanting one.”

“we have become accustomed to ‘coffee table’ books with magnificent pictures but with sketchy or virtually non-existent text. Bernd’s book is nothing like that. It goes a lot further and combines a factually accurate history with the best photographs of lagonda you are ever likely to see, three-quarters of them pre-war and many never before published.”
– Arnold davey, president of the lagonda club, from the foreword of the book.
