Lagonda is a British luxury car marque founded in 1906, by a Scottish-American, Wilbur Gunn (1859–1920), a former opera singer. He became a British national in 1891 and worked as a speed boat and motorcycle engineer in Staines, England. He named the company after the Shawnee settlement "Lagonda" in city Springfield in the U.S. state of Ohio, the town of his birth. He had originally built motorcycles with reasonable success including a win on the 1905 London–Edinburgh trial. In 1907 he launched his first car, 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. During World War I Lagonda made artillery shells. Following Wilbur Gunn's death in 1920, three existing directors headed by Colin Parbury took charge. All was not well financially and the receiver was called in 1935, but the company was bought by Alan P. Good, who just outbid Rolls-Royce. He also persuaded Walter Owen Bentley to leave Rolls-Royce and join Lagonda as designer along with many of his racing department staff. W. O. Bentley (1888-1971), was an English engineer; designer of aero engines, car designer and racing driver. In 1947 the company was taken over by managing director of company Aston Martin, David Brown (1904-1993).
