An original road test taken from the Motor Sport archives, November 1956 | by Bill Boddy
Mr David Brown deserves the appreciation of enthusiasts for having catered for the continuity of two famous British makes, Aston Martin and Lagonda. The present-day Lagonda is an interesting proposition, combining the twin-overhead cam Aston Martin engine in a car of luxurious styling and appointments, and...

Extra models will extend scope of Land Rover | By Andrew Frankel
Land Rover has of late spent so much time, money and energy on the Range Rover and its Evoque and Range Rover Sport derivatives, you’d be forgiven for thinking it had forgotten about the poor old Discovery, down there in the engine room, slogging its guts out to provide adventurous families with honest, high-...

So whether you were after a pair of Purdey shotguns, a Fender SK...
Sir,
With reference to last November's issue of Motor Sport, I was interested to read your fine article on Lagonda, and about the cars that are produced today.
The only ones I ever see now are in motor museums, where I stand and look, and look, they being the only models that interest me.
