Engine and transmission


The engine was a new design for the car by Arthur Davidson who had been with Lea-Francis. The 6-cylinder, overhead-valve engine had a capacity of 2389 cc at first but this was soon increased to 2692 cc. Both sizes had a stroke of 120mm and the smaller version a bore of 65mm increasing to 69mm for the larger one. A single Zenith carburettor was fitted.

The four-speed gearbox was driven through a single dry-plate clutch and short shaft to where it was located centrally in the car. From the gearbox an open shaft then went to the spiral-bevel rear axle.


Chassis and suspension


The chassis was a lengthened version of that used in the 14/60. Semi-elliptical leaf springs were fitted front and rear. Wire-spoked wheels were used.


Coachwork


Four-door saloon and tourer bodies were made by Lagonda with many of the saloons having fabric bodies. Some chassis went to external coachbuilders.


Versatility


There is a record of one Lagonda 16/65 being used as a substitute for a tractor to sweep hay.[4]
