Which Lagonda models make the most

Not every Lagonda is priced alike. The LG45 Rapide sits at the top of the marque, with a median of £564,975 across 11 sales and most of them between £472,850 and £742,310. The 2.6 Litre sits at the bottom at a median of £20,292, so the dearest Lagonda model typically makes about 28 times what the cheapest does.

Each bar runs from the quarter mark to the three-quarter mark of that marque's sales, so it covers the middle half of them and leaves out the project and the concours car. The thickest bars have three thousand sales or more behind them, the thinnest fewer than five hundred. The scale is by ratio, every gridline about three times the one before, which is the only way a Reliant and a Jaguar fit on one axis.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

How much does a classic Lagonda sell for?

Across 355 recorded auction sales, the median classic Lagonda made £63,000, with most selling between £33,775 and £108,594 (as of August 2026). Those are sold prices rather than valuations: condition, history and specification move any individual car well outside that range.

Which Lagonda is worth the most at auction?

Of the Lagonda models with enough sales to read, the LG45 Rapide carries the highest median: £564,975 across 11 recorded sales, most of them between £472,850 and £742,310, with the V12 next at £118,150 (as of August 2026). Those are sold prices for cars in every condition; a concours example of a cheaper model can still out-sell a project LG45 Rapide.

What is the cheapest way into a classic Lagonda?

At auction, the 2.6 Litre: a median of £20,292 across 28 recorded sales, with most between £11,846 and £32,644 (as of August 2026). The bottom of that range is usually a project rather than a bargain, and a cheap car to buy is rarely a cheap car to put right.

Are classic Lagonda prices rising?

No, not on the evidence to 2025. Adjusted for inflation, the typical classic Lagonda made about 74% less in 2025 than five years earlier. The 2025 median was £43,700 across 23 sales, 16% below 2024. Those are medians across every Lagonda model and every condition the sale rooms see, so a single model can be moving the other way.

What is the most expensive classic Lagonda ever sold at auction?

The highest recorded auction result for a classic Lagonda is £1,569,500, paid for an LG45 Rapide in September 2014. Results like that are exceptional cars at exceptional moments; the typical range is £33,775 to £108,594.

How often does a classic Lagonda come up for sale?

Frequently, by classic-car standards: roughly 22 sell at auction each year, and 71% of the cars offered find a buyer. There is a steady supply, so it pays to wait for a good one rather than stretch for the first car you see.

Before you buy or sell

Buying a classic at auction
Why the hammer price is never the price, what Category S and N actually mean, why a clean-looking V5C proves less than buyers assume, and how to think about bidding on a car nobody has let you inspect.
Selling a classic privately
A private seller is not a shop, and the law knows it. Which consumer protections fall away, which three rules still bind you, why selling an unroadworthy car is an offence whoever you are, the DVLA steps that end your liability, and the payment habits that keep the money.
Agreed value insurance
The trade valuation guides insurers use do not value cars over about twenty years old, which is why a classic on a market-value policy is a claim waiting to be argued. What the Financial Ombudsman expects, what the regulator found when it looked, what agreed value actually promises, and the evidence that sets it.
What a restoration really costs
Why restoration bills reach numbers that horrify outsiders, where the money actually goes, and the practical protections that matter when handing a valuable car to a workshop for a year. Staged payments, written scope, and what happens if the business fails.
Inspecting a classic before buying
The two free government checks and what they reveal, why the log book proves less than every buyer assumes, the serial numbers DVLA tells you to look for, what a paid history check adds, and where your rights differ between a dealer and a private seller.
What a classic costs to run
The fixed costs are knowable to the pound, from the zero-rated tax to the capped MOT fee to the price of petrol this week. The variable costs are where the money goes, and no official source publishes them. What can be stated, what cannot, and how to budget for a car that was built to be fixed.

Strong evidence. 355 recorded sales and a dozen or more a year: the median and the range are well founded. Sold prices from public classic car auction results (1996 to 10 August 2026), not asking prices and not a valuation: a concours car and a project both sit inside these ranges, and condition, history and specification move any one car well outside them. Inflation-adjusted figures use the ONS CPIH index, in 2025 money. How to read these figures.
