There was also the Rapier (Rapier) George. 46 were built with various two and four seat bodies mostly from old stock when Lagonda was sold to Alan Good in 1935 with Rapier production rights and remaining stock bought up. The company then formed traded under the unoriginal name of Rapier Cars Ltd. They carefully ground the "Lagonda" name off the cam covers. The pre-selector gearbox remained. Needless to say Mike has a four seat example of one of those as well

The brief on the sweet little 4 cylinder DOHC engine commisioned by Lagonda was that it should be "Britain's finest 1100cc engine". Although production limitations decreed the block was cast iron rather than design intended aluminium, it developed 50 hp, a healthy output for the early 30's. A great shame the complexity on such a small engine decreed a short production life.
