If you like the classics, what you are going to see next may surprise you ... It is about nothing less than Richard Hammond driving a precious Lagonda, 1931 in a video that he himself just uploaded. Exactly, Hammond, one of the three (attention) ex-hosts of the famous British show, TopGear.
And the charismatic Englishman has posted this short film on a curious YouTube account that he called, if we translate it into Spanish: «Richard Hammond is bored«. But hey, putting aside for a second all the controversy of the cancellation of the hit show and the firing of Jeremy Clarkson, little Brit seems to enjoy the beauty with the demanding driving your Lagonda, 1931.
The inexorable drift towards the classics
Like own Richard Hammond explained last year in one of his Daily Record articles, this mythical classic; a Lagonda 2.0 Supercharged Tourer from 1931, became his property some time ago, after falling in love with him when he saw him in a photograph. Then, the well-known presenter explained that, although he had been driving modern and powerful cars for many years, he had to learn to drive it before using it. And not only to manage it, but to maintain it.

It has the brake and accelerator pedals backwards, so that's interesting. There are also things that need to be greased, adjusted and drained periodically (…) Do it right and everything should work perfectly; neglect it and everything will fall apart. Which would be a shame after 84 years ...

It was that, the requirement for the proper functioning of this British beauty, which has especially dazzled 'Hamster' (that's how Mr. Clarkson affectionately calls him). And it is that things like these: having to constantly control the mixture, the ignition or the oil, are just examples of what makes the proper driving of a classic end up being so comforting and romantic for any car enthusiast.
For proof, a button: press 'play' and you will be able to enjoy the starting liturgy of this wonderful Lagonda, 1931.
