Up for bid: the vintage 1934 Lagonda owned by Bernie Ecclestone
Bernie Ecclestone's 1934 Lagonda Car Goes Up for Auction on Catawiki
Bernie Ecclestone's 1934 Lagonda car, a symbol of British automotive craftsmanship and a direct link to his Formula 1 legacy, is now available for auction on Catawiki. This collector-grade item is a rare find, with only around 280-281 chassis produced between 1932 and 1934.
Originally a four-door saloon, the car was reimagined in 1991 by coachbuilder Kevin Roskruge into the T2 Tourer configuration. The transformation included a three-door, open-top design with a convertible roof, making it a unique and distinctive piece of automotive history.
The car is powered by a 6-cylinder inline engine and a rare pre-select gearbox, offering both vintage charm and impressive drivability for its era. It is estimated at €175,000 (A$310,300).
During his time of significant influence in Formula 1, Ecclestone owned the 1934 Lagonda car. He is widely credited with transforming Formula 1 into a multibillion-dollar global empire by centralizing TV rights, revolutionizing its commercial structure, and running the sport with unmatched authority for decades.
The Formula 1 film featuring Brad Pitt has sparked renewed interest in motorsport globally, and the auction of Ecclestone's 1934 Lagonda car on Catawiki is generating headlines of its own. The auction is exclusive to Catawiki from 25 July to 10 August.
For those interested in owning a piece of automotive and F1 history, this is a rare opportunity not to be missed. The 1934 Lagonda car, up for auction on Catawiki, offers both a glimpse into the past and a connection to the future of motorsport.
