Nope.

But 6 engineers from Lagonda did work on this car.

Arran,

Did you spend hours searching out the image? :lol:

Do you know what the car is, then?

or are you keeping the others in suspense a little longer. ;)

The hood emblem is not that clear but looks like an Alvis emblem. But they were founded after the first war.

I do know what car it is, but I will keep schtum because it isn't fair since I have an unfair advantage being a professional googler! :D

I believe the current owner paid in the region of £80k for it.

and it isn't a Rolls Royce!

Interesting picture Rob, never seen that before! Looks like it's based on an SZ chassis series Rolls. I'd lay bets on a 1993 spirit.

(I know I'm an uber anorak) :ugeek:

(It has the 1993-97 steering wheel, and dashboard) :lol:

LOL arran :lol:

I spoke at length with the owner (he's actually the guy in the lilac suit next to the lambo in the "whats my line thread")

Clue 2:

The company was "absorbed" by another classic car company after WWI. The particular car in my quiz was built in 1985 to revive the original name and brand.

I can remember from the description it's was called a 'silver ghost', that all. I found it a good combo of scissor and gullwing considering easy access. They failed on the clearance though, but with a car like that you don't care.. (sorry to the OP for thread hijack).
