1961 Erin Lagana GT-S

One of the definitive Erins of all time. 15 ft of chrome-clad, V12 powered, British engineered, Sixties jet-set two door coupe brilliance. Like all Erin sports cars at the time - the early 60s - the chassis, engine and drivetrain were all derived from their racing cars. However, unlike its thoroughly undertamed Tierza predecessor, the Lagana was the first car that the company really put a lot of effort in to making it something you could actually use without it trying to kill you, and yet still delivering sumptuous amounts of power.

The chassis was based on that of the Erin Motorsport SP4 race car, which at the time was competing in the World Sportscar Championship. That racing connection was what Erin banked off in the early days to sell there cars, and it was very much the same with the Lagana. The difference with their earlier attempts at production cars, however, was that the Lagana featured a premium interior, softer suspension and a more rounded engine. The aim was simple: take on the current range of premium coupes in both Britain, Europe and America.

As to whether the Lagana was a GT coupe or a sports car has been a debate that has continued in Erin fan circles for a long time, but there’s no denying its place today in the history of the company and the wider history of the British car industry. A mint condition, original 1961 model went for $1.3 million at a recent car auction.

I like to think the photoshoot for those two ads above took place at the exact same time.

With the same camera, and edited in the parking lot on a laptop :grinning:

The 1960s were famous for their laptops after all, so this makes a lot of sense.

@Chickenbiscuit the typo on the company name really adds to the “rushed product” feeling of the ad :wink: :wink: :wink:

(which actually looks good in my opinion - the car speaks for itself anyway)
