8.2?
Sorry not sure what you mean. If engine size, no it's just 7.5l.
The 8.2 was a Cadillac engine, so of GM origin; Lincoln is a Ford brand. That said the contemporary Caddy Eldorado etc have very similar styling, boxy, size of an aircraft carrier, grille like a jukebox.

I think that or a 510ci Caddy would be my perfect weekend car. What's the spares availability like?
Early days yet but seems pretty good. There are a few places that have parts, the engine's just a Ford big block so no worries there. Doubtless a lot of other stuff.

Cotesy of course I can't say 'not 8.2, 460' wink

I had a guy shouting at me on my commute today '460 MAYT...?' 'Yes mate', 'THE ONLY ENGINE MAYT'

Had a bit of a weekend motoring in the Lagonda and visited a friend who took some pictures on his driveway. English classic in a classic English setting.



My grandad was in the home guard in the war and on patrol nights they used to smoke around in the butcher's Lagonda, which he said was something very similar to yours! I think they mainly went from pub to pub.

Absolutely beautiful.

If I remember correctly R51 was the foundry and Q65 a model workshop for the wind tunnels.
