Having got the Lagonda back to Roy’s on Sunday we stripped the engine on Monday. As we suspected a disaster! Not only had one of the pistons completely disintegrated but the metal had been sucked through the valves into the other cylinders. Roy hadn’t seen anything like it in 42 years of restoring vintage cars! The good news is we know what we have to do and Roy is absolutely confident that we will get it done in time for shipping by June. He suspects that the piston had been cracked for some time. If it had happened on P2P i suspect we would have been out of the rally so we have to look on the positive side.
I have done everything I can so it’s over to Roy and the lads for the rebuild!
I feel confident that we are still very much in the rally and that we will be able to ship on time.
