 An ultra-rare V12-engined Lagonda Hooper two-door saloon from 1939 is set to headline an auction of amazing old cars.

The Lagonda V12 Hooper is technically unique in history, having been built specifically for the wife of the owner of Hooper Bodies Ltd., the most noted coachbuilder of the pre-war era.

Now, 75 years after it was built, it needs a complete restoration but still looks set to receive bids topping at least £75,000. Its chassis and engine numbers reveal its complete originality.
