Engine EN4/49/5 with a Spa head from LMA/49/1 engine (which had
been fitted
AMC/50/12, the latter now with standard head).
1949 Earls Court Show (with AMC/48/4)
This
car is unique having a folding windscreen and shown with tonneau cover :
The following photos come from the Lagonda
1949-1958 website.
These pictures show Frankie Howerd
with Peggy Cochrane, they
were appearing at the Bradford Alhambra Theatre and my father Tony employed them
to open a motor show he had
organised at the old Westgate
showroom of Charles Syndey. (Malcolm
Scatchard photos)
The car still has its show reg plates !
Folding windscreen clearly shown here.

Car wrongly said to be AMC/48/7
but folding windscreen
gives a clue
as does different
top more angled at back and removable side screens and quarterlights.
This can be clearly seen when compared with AMC/48/2
below.
Also notice the
square side window.
