Two vintage Lagonda cars are set to turn heads at an upcoming classic car auction in South Somerset.

The pre-war vehicles will go under the hammer on Thursday, June 4, at the Haynes Motor Museum in Sparkford as part of the Charterhouse auction.

Richard Bromell of Charterhouse said: "The vendor has been an avid Lagonda enthusiast since the 1960s, when he was often seen at racetracks such as Silverstone campaigning his cars."

The first car, a 1930 Lagonda High Chassis two-litre tourer, was purchased by the owner more than 60 years ago and is expected to fetch between £20,000 and £30,000.

The second, a 1932 two-litre saloon, was acquired from a scrapyard in 1976 and has been stored ever since as an unfinished project.

Charterhouse are currently accepting further entries for the auction.
