Lagonda Rapier Single-Seater

First registration 11.1934

Swiss road registration with veteran entry

According to the history handed down to us, the Lagonda Rapier offered here was converted from a 2-seater to a single-seater by the Rapier specialists par excellence, Macdonald Racing in Durham. Just over 30 years ago, the car was then completely rebuilt again, also by Macdonald Racing. It won the VSCC ‘Spero Trophy’ and later raced in Japan before finding its way back to Macdonald Racing in England. This beautiful Lagonda Rapier was imported to Switzerland from England over 18 years ago and has been in the same ownership ever since. It is in top condition, veteran-tested. The original V5 and registration book with former owners are available.

The Lagonda Rapier was launched on the market in 1934. Developed as a compact sports car, it cut a fine figure both on the road and on the race track. Its lightweight body and advanced engine technology made it an agile car that was very popular with sporty drivers.

The innovative four-cylinder in-line engine had a displacement of only 1.1 liters, but was very powerful for its size. The Lagonda Rapier was therefore not only successful on public roads, but was also active in motorsport. The small, agile sports car was often able to demonstrate superior performance, particularly in hill climbs and club races. The lightness of the car and the high revving engine enabled drivers to compete in classes with larger and more powerful cars.

Production of the Lagonda Rapier was relatively short, running from 1934 to 1938, during which time around 380 units were built, making the model a rare and sought-after collector’s item today.
