Lagonda was founded by American Wilbur Gunn, originally with limited motorcycle production, then tri-cars, and finally light cars, from their works in Staines. In the mid 1920's the company began to concentrate on Sports cars and Tourers into the 1930's.
The company ran into to financial problems and called in the official receiver, in 1935 the firm was purchased by Alan Good who employed W>O>Bentley as chief engineer to refine the 4.5 litre engine and to design and build a V12 to rival Rolls Royce. An attempt to build the smaller Rapier in the mass market 1100cc class was not a success and the company continued with the larger cars. The company was bought by the owner of Aston Martin. David Brown in 1947 who built Lagonda until 1963. Reviving the name in 1974-75 and again in 1978. The new Rapide may also be sold under the Lagonda banner
