A Distinguished Car The appearance of the new 12-cylinder Lagonda
is an event of definite importance to the British industry and its well-earned reputation at home and abroad. I took it over my own trial route a short time ago and I do not think I am being invidious when I say that I was more impressed with its performance and manners than I have been with those of any car I have driven so far, all circum- stances taken into consideration—dite, power, size and price. Jt may not be, it probably is not everybody's car, but it is certainly a car that must compel the admiration and respect of every motor engineer and every owner-driver in the world. Not everybody wants a car that will do 1 to miles an hour with a large closed body as easily, as noiselessly and as smoothly as most others achieve 70 or 8o, but every- body, whether he knows it or nnt, would like the by-products of such a speed—the life, the instantaneous acceleration, the flexibility and the safety.
