Description
The 3-Litre model debuted in September 1953 as the second model produced by Lagonda after the company’s acquisition by David Brown and absorption into Aston Martin’s operations. While sharing its cruciform chassis with the outgoing 2.6 Litre, the 3-Litre introduced a larger-displacement engine along with lower and wider coachwork constructed by Newport Pagnell coachbuilder Tickford. The model shared powertrain and suspension components with the contemporary Aston Martin DB 2/4 and was initially available in either fixed-roof or drophead…
The 3-Litre model debuted in September 1953 as the second model produced by Lagonda after the company’s acquisition by David Brown and absorption into Aston Martin’s operations. While sharing its cruciform chassis with the outgoing 2.6 Litre, the 3-Litre introduced a larger-displacement engine along with lower and wider coachwork constructed by Newport Pagnell coachbuilder Tickford. The model shared powertrain and suspension components with the contemporary Aston Martin DB 2/4 and was initially available in either fixed-roof or drophead coupe configurations, which were later joined by a four-door saloon.
Originally finished in Sapphire Blue, the car’s aluminum bodywork is said to have been repainted in the Ferrari shade Avio Metallic in 1998. Imperfections in the finish are shown up close in the photo gallery below. Features include rear-hinged doors, fender-mounted side mirrors, Lucas PF770 headlights, bumper-mounted fog lights, trafficators, and dual vents integrated below teardrop contours flanking a vertically slatted grille that was replated in 2018. Front and rear turn signals have been added. The beige convertible top can be positioned as fully open, fully closed, or covering the rear seats only.
Body-color wheels wear bright hubcaps and beauty rings and were mounted with 6.00-16 Michelin Pilote X tires in 2018. Stopping is handled by Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes with the rear units mounted inboard, while steering is via rack and pinion.
The cabin is trimmed in beige leather over the front bucket seats, rear bench, and door panels. The upholstery is said to have been stripped of its coloring before the filling of various cracks with Furniture Clinic filler and a re-dye in beige in 2018. Replacement beige carpeting was also fitted at that time along with a matching replacement boot over the floor shifter. Features include light blue front shoulder belts, adjustable armrests on the door panels, roll-up windows, a lockable glovebox, and a fold-down rear armrest. An air-conditioning system was added by the seller and features a vent hidden behind the dash-mounted ashtray cover and two vents beneath the dash. The air conditioning evaporator is said to have been installed in the factory heater housing in the engine bay, while a heater has been added in the front footwell.
The Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel was added by the seller and sits at the right-hand side of a burl wood dash fascia that is complemented by matching door caps. Smiths instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer with an inset clock, a reverse-sweep 6k-rpm tachometer, and a combination gauge monitoring oil pressure, amperage, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 12k miles, 1,200 of which have been added by the seller. Steering column-mounted gauges monitoring oil temperature and voltage were added by the seller, as was a RetroSound radio with Bluetooth and USB connectivity.
The 2,922cc inline-six was a larger evolution of the W.O. Bentley-designed powerplant that debuted in the Lagonda 2.6 Litre and was factory rated at 140 horsepower at 5k rpm. Features include a four-bearing crankshaft, dual overhead camshafts driven by a duplex chain with hydraulic tensioners, and twin SU carburetors. The engine is said to have been overhauled in 1973, while a service following the seller’s purchase in 2018 reportedly included fluid changes, replacement of the V-belt, and various electrical repairs. Modifications made under current ownership included the installation of an oil cooler, a spin-on oil filter, a Dynalite alternator with the appearance of a dynamo, a coolant booster pump, and an electric cooling fan. An oil change was performed in November 2022, and an oil leak is said to have been repaired in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. Independent suspension comprises coil-sprung double wishbones up front and a torsion-bar rear swing-axle arrangement, while double-acting lever-arm shock absorbers are utilized all around.
Engine number VB6H/138 is shown stamped on the block above, matching the number listed on the factory build sheet and the BMIHT certificate.
