n 1938 the Dutch architect Jan van Erven Dorens (1904-1994) bought the most beautiful automobile then available, a Lagonda LG6 Drop Head Coupé. During the Second World War he managed to keep the Lagonda out of the hands of the Germans, but immediately after the liberation the car was confiscated by Prince Bernhard´s staff. Soon afterwards the Lagonda turned up again when war hero Montgomery had himself driven around in it so the citizens of Amsterdam could hail and cheer him. After that day Van Erven Dorens never set eyes on his car again. Sixty-five years after the event, his grandson Robin van Erven Dorens went on a search for his granddad's confiscated vehicle. Many stories turned out to be doing the rounds about the vanished Lagonda, bringing back to life a world long gone by: the world of an adventurer in upper-class circles, an architect who allowed himself to be led by his imagination in times when decisions of vital importance had to be made. But the main point remained: Where did the Lagonda end up? Based on unusual archive material and private film fragments from the thirties onwards the documentary LAGONDA presents a portrait of an extraordinary twentieth-century life as the reconstructed story of a car and its rightful owner unfolds. Robin van Erven Dorens (1964) won de IDFA Scenario Prize in 2002 with the script for LAGONDA. This film is his first documentary.Scenario and direction: Robin van Erven DorensCamera: Onno van der WalSound: Ludo KeerisEditing: Barbara HinOriginal music by: Ernst GlerumLine producer: Sylvia BaanProducer: Pieter van HuysteeCommissioning editor NPS: Cees van EdePremiere IDFA 2003
