COPY. EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames}8/JH.26.4.40. Body Dimensions. At your request on Thursday April 25th, we measured the main interior dimensions of the Lagonda car. We also measured the car height from the ground. Comparing the dimensions with Cresta and B.V., the Cresta is a roomier body all round as it is wider; has more head-room; is 1.000 longer between the steering wheel lower rim and the rear seat squab. The Bentley V is also wider, has 1.000 more head room, but is 4.000 shorter between the steering wheel and seat squab. We should like to mention that the rear door entrance is 5.000 less in height than both B.V. and Cresta. EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} | ||
