Lagonda (you may not be familiar with it) was a pre WW1 British car that was became part of Aston Martin in '47, named for a Shawnee village in Ohio where the founder, former opera singer, William Gunn was from

In 1907 he launched his first car, the 20 hp, six-cylinder Torpedo, which he used to win the Moscow–St. Petersburg trial of 1910. This success produced a healthy order for exports to Russia, which continued until 1914.

Then, Lagonda famously hired W O Bentley away from Rolls Royce, after his firm was absorbed by Rolls Royce in 1931.

Bentley designed the 180 Hp V12 for Lagonda's large touring cars
