The ex-Tim Rose-Richards/Cecil Randall1929 Lagonda 2-Litre 'Low Chassis' TourerRegistration no. PK 9201Chassis no. 9411Footnotes:THE FORSHAW COLLECTIONThe remarkable family of low-chassis 2-Litre Lagonda sports cars offered here from the Forshaw Collection reflects the early background of their very well-known and highly-respected Aston Service Dorset business, in the 1930s when Ivan Forshaw made his name as a Lagonda specialist. He was instrumental in establishing the 2-Litre Lagonda Register and later involved in its amalgamation with the Lagonda Club, becoming spares and technical advisor. Ivan and his wife Enid established their home in Parkstone, Dorset. They had two sons, Roger in 1940 and Richard in 1946. When World War 2 began Ivan joined the Army, initially as a dispatch rider, rising through the ranks and seeing service in North Africa and Italy before being invalided out in 1945. Postwar he resumed business and when Aston Martin and Lagonda merged in 1947 the new company passed enquiries concerning pre-war Lagondas to Ivan Forshaw. When Sir David Brown's ownership of Aston Martin Lagonda Limited ended, sole rights to remanufacture parts for Aston Martin DB2 and DB2/4 models plus the David Brown Lagondas were offered to 'The Captain' and Aston Service Dorset was launched in 1972 to cater for that market. The business continued as officially recognised parts specialists for all models up to and including the DB7 Vantage. Ivan Forshaw passed away in 2006 at the age of 94, and he maintained his lifelong enthusiasm for all things Lagonda right to the end. His family collection of Lagondas - particularly this group of low-chassis 2-Litre Tourer competition cars from the 1929 season - was a particular pride and joy. BONHAMS is privileged to have been entrusted with offering them now to the market - for new generations of collectors and enthusiasts to admire, and to enjoy.THE 'FOX & NICHOLL' AND 'SYNDICATE' 2-LITRE LAGONDAS - 1929 RACING SEASONAt the end of 1928 a syndicate of Waltham and Hertford, Hertfordshire-based racing enthusiasts decided to pool their resources in order to enter long-distance sports car racing seriously in 1929. Those enthusiasts - supported by budding driver Tim Rose-Richards - were Arthur Pollard, George Roberts, Cecil Randall and Bill Edmondson - who was General Metcalfe of Lagonda Cars' solicitor. In February 1929 the General agreed to supply the syndicate with two special competition versions of the 2-Litre model, for £350 each - roughly half price - on condition that they would not be resold for less than £600. The syndicate planned to run the cars in the Brooklands Double-Twelve, the Six Hours, the Ulster Tourist Trophy and, possibly, to enter and run one in the Le Mans 24- Hour race. Lagonda had a paid-for entry at Le Mans and placed it at their new client's disposal. The General also promoted their embryo venture to Shell Oil and KLG Spark Plugs recommending sponsorship. Arthur Fox of the Fox & Nicholl primarily Talbot team had also been campaigning a 2-Litre Lagonda, Fox's own car, and an agreement was reached under which Fox & Nicholl of Tolworth, Surrey, would also prepare the new syndicate's sister Lagondas. The cars arrived at the Fox & Nicholl works at the end of April 1929 which left little time for them to be prepared properly for the Brooklands Double-Twelve race in mid-May. Four cars were provided in all for the syndicate and for Fox & Nicholl, with the fourth being owned by specialist tuner R.R. Jackson. The quartet of 2-Litre cars - now offered in this unique Sale opportunity - were given consecutive UK road registrations, PK 9201, 202, 203 and 204. Amongst them 'PK 9201' and '9202' were to be the syndicate's cars, Fox's was 'PK 9203' and Robin Jackson's 'PK 9204'. These cars were prototypes of the low-chassis 2-Litre with a revised front axle and the dynamo mounted on the nose of the crankshaft as on the Lagonda 3-litre and 16/65 models. Fox & Nicholl's men were amused when the cars were delivered to them without the spacers required to go between the axle and springs at the rear, which left the cars in low-chassis form up front, and 'high-chassis' at the rear. The spacers in fact only arrived in time for the second practice session of the Double-Twelve at Brooklands - until which point the paddock habitués there were highly intrigued by the Lagondas' peculiar stance...Arthur Fox was a great detail man in his preparation and he ensured his team drivers practised a special start procedure repeatedly pre-race, which paid off as they were flagged away, leading the field. The early race laps had to be completed with hoods raised, and again Fox's attention to detail equipped the hoods with spring loaded clips to assist in each one's furling and being made secure. The syndicate cars and Fox's entry had a windscreen which could be hinged open and locked near-horizontal as a deflector, presenting less frontal area to the airstream yet deflecting it more efficiently than a simple aero-screen around the driver's head and shoulders. Jackson's 'PK 9204' lacked that feature, using a plain aero screen and wire-mesh stone screen instead. The cars were in fact lightened and modified in many other subtle ways as detailed in the wonderful Lagonda history by Arnold Davey and Anthony May ('Lagonda', David & Charles, 1978). Furthermore Arnold Davey informs us that: 'Dan Hagen, who owned 'PK 9204' from 1938 until 1967, wrote in the Lagonda Club magazine, in 1954, how he had extracted from the factory before the war details of the amount of tuning the 1929 team cars' engines had received, in addition to drastic lightening of the chassis and bodywork. The camshafts were lighter and carried quick lift, long-dwell cams, The compression ratio was raised to 7.45 to 1, inlet ports honed out to 36 mm, lightened flywheel, 'French type' Zenith triple-diffuser carburettors, enlarged radiator with pressurised system, straight cut bevel axle with 4 to 1 ratio.' Mr Davey adds: 'I doubt if the car would have been sold to the public with that compression ratio, which required a 40% benzole fuel mix to run without detonation. At the time of his writing, the car had done over 250,000 miles...'. For the 1929 Brooklands Double-12 race, driver pairings were: 'PK 9201' - Tim Rose-Richards/Cecil Randall 'PK 9202' - Bill Edmondson/George Roberts 'PK 9203' - Frank King/Howard Wolfe 'PK 9204' - Robin Jackson/C.A. Broomhall. This split 24-Hour race - leaving the gigantic Motor Course quiet overnight to ease the inhabitants of Weybridge's slumbers - proved to be a contest between supercharged Alfa Romeos and the big Bentleys - while the 2-Litre cars above were outrun by the factory's proxy entry of a 2-Litre for Mike Couper, which proved to be their 200-mile record car. Still all five of these 2-Litre cars were running at the end of the first 12-Hour competition, the four low-chassis cars and Couper's high-chassis 'special'. Starting the cold engines at the start of the second day's racing proved near disaster for the Jackson/Broomhall car which lost nearly an hour before it could be persuaded to fire. Broken exhausts and silencers then afflicted the Fox cars and the Rose-Richards/Randall entry broke its crankshaft. An Alfa Romeo finally won, with Couper's high-chassis 'special' 9th overall and winner of the 2-Litre class, with Edmondson/Roberts 13th overall and class 2nd in 'PK 9202', Jackson/Broomhall in 'PK 9204' 14th overall, class 3rd - and King/Wolfe 18th overall and 6th in class in 'PK 9203'.The syndicate emerged most unhappy about the late entry of Couper in the special Lagonda, and a storm blew up between them and General Metcalfe which took a little time to be resolved amicably. The cars were overhauled at Lagonda's Staines factory, and the ... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

PK 9203Chassis no. 9413Footnotes:THE FORSHAW COLLECTIONThe remarkable family of low-chassis 2-Litre Lagonda sports cars offered here from the Forshaw Collection reflects the early background of their very well-known and highly-respected Aston Service Dorset business, in the 1930s when Ivan Forshaw made his name as a Lagonda specialist. He was instrumental in establishing the 2-Litre Lagonda Register and later involved in its amalgamation with the Lagonda Club, becoming spares and technical advisor. Ivan and his wife Enid established their home in Parkstone, Dorset. They had two sons, Roger in 1940 and Richard in 1946. When World War 2 began Ivan joined the Army, initially as a dispatch rider, rising through the ranks and seeing service in North Africa and Italy before being invalided out in 1945. Postwar he resumed business and when Aston Martin and Lagonda merged in 1947 the new company passed enquiries concerning pre-war Lagondas to Ivan Forshaw. When Sir David Brown's ownership of Aston Martin Lagonda Limited ended, sole rights to remanufacture parts for Aston Martin DB2 and DB2/4 models plus the David Brown Lagondas were offered to 'The Captain' and Aston Service Dorset was launched in 1972 to cater for that market. The business continued as officially recognised parts specialists for all models up to and including the DB7 Vantage. Ivan Forshaw passed away in 2006 at the age of 94, and he maintained his lifelong enthusiasm for all things Lagonda right to the end. His family collection of Lagondas - particularly this group of low-chassis 2-Litre Tourer competition cars from the 1929 season - was a particular pride and joy. BONHAMS is privileged to have been entrusted with offering them now to the market - for new generations of collectors and enthusiasts to admire, and to enjoy.THE 'FOX & NICHOLL' AND 'SYNDICATE' 2-LITRE LAGONDAS - 1929 RACING SEASONAt the end of 1928 a syndicate of Waltham and Hertford, Hertfordshire-based racing enthusiasts decided to pool their resources in order to enter long-distance sports car racing seriously in 1929. Those enthusiasts - supported by budding driver Tim Rose-Richards - were Arthur Pollard, George Roberts, Cecil Randall and Bill Edmondson - who was General Metcalfe of Lagonda Cars' solicitor. In February 1929 the General agreed to supply the syndicate with two special competition versions of the 2-Litre model, for £350 each - roughly half price - on condition that they would not be resold for less than £600. The syndicate planned to run the cars in the Brooklands Double-Twelve, the Six Hours, the Ulster Tourist Trophy and, possibly, to enter and run one in the Le Mans 24- Hour race. Lagonda had a paid-for entry at Le Mans and placed it at their new client's disposal. The General also promoted their embryo venture to Shell Oil and KLG Spark Plugs recommending sponsorship. Arthur Fox of the Fox & Nicholl primarily Talbot team had also been campaigning a 2-Litre Lagonda, Fox's own car, and an agreement was reached under which Fox & Nicholl of Tolworth, Surrey, would also prepare the new syndicate's sister Lagondas. The cars arrived at the Fox & Nicholl works at the end of April 1929 which left little time for them to be prepared properly for the Brooklands Double-Twelve race in mid-May. Four cars were provided in all for the syndicate and for Fox & Nicholl, with the fourth being owned by specialist tuner R.R. Jackson. The quartet of 2-Litre cars - now offered in this unique Sale opportunity - were given consecutive UK road registrations, PK 9201, 202, 203 and 204. Amongst them 'PK 9201' and '9202' were to be the syndicate's cars, Fox's was 'PK 9203' and Robin Jackson's 'PK 9204'. These cars were prototypes of the low-chassis 2-Litre with a revised front axle and the dynamo mounted on the nose of the crankshaft as on the Lagonda 3-litre and 16/65 models. Fox & Nicholl's men were amused when the cars were delivered to them without the spacers required to go between the axle and springs at the rear, which left the cars in low-chassis form up front, and 'high-chassis' at the rear. The spacers in fact only arrived in time for the second practice session of the Double-Twelve at Brooklands - until which point the paddock habitués there were highly intrigued by the Lagondas' peculiar stance...Arthur Fox was a great detail man in his preparation and he ensured his team drivers practised a special start procedure repeatedly pre-race, which paid off as they were flagged away, leading the field. The early race laps had to be completed with hoods raised, and again Fox's attention to detail equipped the hoods with spring loaded clips to assist in each one's furling and being made secure. The syndicate cars and Fox's entry had a windscreen which could be hinged open and locked near-horizontal as a deflector, presenting less frontal area to the airstream yet deflecting it more efficiently than a simple aero-screen around the driver's head and shoulders. Jackson's 'PK 9204' lacked that feature, using a plain aero screen and wire-mesh stone screen instead. The cars were in fact lightened and modified in many other subtle ways as detailed in the wonderful Lagonda history by Arnold Davey and Anthony May ('Lagonda', David & Charles, 1978). Furthermore Arnold Davey informs us that: 'Dan Hagen, who owned 'PK 9204' from 1938 until 1967, wrote in the Lagonda Club magazine, in 1954, how he had extracted from the factory before the war details of the amount of tuning the 1929 team cars' engines had received, in addition to drastic lightening of the chassis and bodywork. The camshafts were lighter and carried quick lift, long-dwell cams, The compression ratio was raised to 7.45 to 1, inlet ports honed out to 36 mm, lightened flywheel, 'French type' Zenith triple-diffuser carburettors, enlarged radiator with pressurised system, straight cut bevel axle with 4 to 1 ratio.' Mr Davey adds: 'I doubt if the car would have been sold to the public with that compression ratio, which required a 40% benzole fuel mix to run without detonation. At the time of his writing, the car had done over 250,000 miles...'. For the 1929 Brooklands Double-12 race, driver pairings were: 'PK 9201' - Tim Rose-Richards/Cecil Randall 'PK 9202' - Bill Edmondson/George Roberts 'PK 9203' - Frank King/Howard Wolfe 'PK 9204' - Robin Jackson/C.A. Broomhall. This split 24-Hour race - leaving the gigantic Motor Course quiet overnight to ease the inhabitants of Weybridge's slumbers - proved to be a contest between supercharged Alfa Romeos and the big Bentleys - while the 2-Litre cars above were outrun by the factory's proxy entry of a 2-Litre for Mike Couper, which proved to be their 200-mile record car. Still all five of these 2-Litre cars were running at the end of the first 12-Hour competition, the four low-chassis cars and Couper's high-chassis 'special'. Starting the cold engines at the start of the second day's racing proved near disaster for the Jackson/Broomhall car which lost nearly an hour before it could be persuaded to fire. Broken exhausts and silencers then afflicted the Fox cars and the Rose-Richards/Randall entry broke its crankshaft. An Alfa Romeo finally won, with Couper's high-chassis 'special' 9th overall and winner of the 2-Litre class, with Edmondson/Roberts 13th overall and class 2nd in 'PK 9202', Jackson/Broomhall in 'PK 9204' 14th overall, class 3rd - and King/Wolfe 18th overall and 6th in class in 'PK 9203'.The syndicate emerged most unhappy about the late entry of Couper in the special Lagonda, and a storm blew up between them and General Metcalfe which took a little time to be resolved amicably.
