I like the Tatra better. Amazing nose, though, and beautiful integration throughout. Is the coach-builder known?

  After WWII, Lagonda was taken over by David Brown (of Aston Martin). I’d imagine in-house coach-building.

  I like this:
  Lagonda at war –
  Richard Watney was managing director of Lagonda at the start of the Second World War:
  “He was Rootes’ retail sales manager for the London area until 1935, when he became managing director of Lagonda, Ltd. He is a production expert, who during the war organised and controlled for Lagonda one of the largest British gun production plants, and also plants which produced 50,000 25 lb shells a day. Watney also developed and produced the “Crocodile” and “Wasp” flame-throwing equipment for armoured vehicles.” [8]
