Puttin' on the Ritz was a great musical choice! What an amazing car. Can't wait to see it restored.

It’s very Celia isn’t it!

Nice to make a cameo appearance, this is a properly exciting project. Fluffy getting his hands dirty!

[@Reedys_Digest]

Hi there, thank you for being in it. Fluffy in the thick of it as you say!

[@adrianbutler7139]

Really enjoyed this and as an owner of 2 pre war cars, have pushed both of them more than once, great

[@Reedys_Digest]

I fear there may be quite a lot more pushing over the next few years!!

Back in the 1980's i had a car with those same front brake set up, a 1923 Palladium( made in London UK) .This was the first light car to have four wheel brakes ,four speed gearbox etc .

[@Reedys_Digest]

Ooh fabulous sounds lovely. Rod brakes were an excellent idea at the time but having just driven 40 miles or so sitting happily behind servo assisted brakes with ABS, rod brakes are quite proposition!

What a joy to see episode 2! 💗

[@Reedys_Digest]

Thank you so much. These little videos and the work on the car are tremendous fun to do and the car is fascinating!

[@benzinfeuer732]

​@@Reedys_Digest Yes, she is indeed fascinating. (I put a link on the cards, at the start of the video, and a link at the end of the videos, on my videos which have the most views (link on your number one video), to help boost the views).

[@Reedys_Digest]

@@benzinfeuer732 goodness, thank you. Very much appreciated.

I think that episode should be sponsored by WD40 😃

[@Reedys_Digest]

It should! Don’t know what we’d do without it!

[@steve20118]

Secondary sponsor should be "hammer"

[@Reedys_Digest]

Paul and Steve are fabulous. They got all four brakes free with a hammer, a bit of wood and a spanner. But also 2 lifetimes of experience which was the magic ingredient!

[@MrD-moto]

@@steve20118 The car comes from an era when vehicles were built by burly men with hammers and spanner’s. Wonderful, not laptop or software update required. Happy days.

[@Reedys_Digest]

I love that you can simply see how everything works! Fascinates me.

That's going to be a big resto with a nice big bill at the end of it....If only it had been put in a better garage and looked after. Lots of bits missing so someone was busy taking it to bits piece by piece over the years.... Look forward to seeing the updates !

[@Reedys_Digest]

Welcome! There’s certainly lots to do, but I am glad to say I found most of the bits at home. I have held on to all random metal things and every now and then Paul and I have a game of could this be a bit of Lagonda? He has been very kind about some of my guesses but a few unlikely items did indeed turn out to be Lagonda bits! Next video should be up over the weekend

[@lagonda5153]

@@Reedys_Digest Good to hear there are boxes of bits all ready to be refitted onto the car. Don't throw anything out!! The engine looks like it will need a complete rebuild so that should keep you busy...😁 Have you signed up to the Lagonda club ? They are very helpful and have the spares and expertise you will need. Look forward to seeing the next video!!

[@Reedys_Digest]

Brilliant thank you. Pleased to say I have joined the club and they asked me to do an article for the magazine so I think we are in the next edition!

[@lagonda5153]

@@Reedys_Digest Well done! They will become an invaluable source of information and guidance moving forward. I look forward to reading the article and really looking forward to seeing the car back on the road where it belongs ! In the meantime keep the videos and updated coming 👍

[@Reedys_Digest]

Will do!
