The text states: "In 1947, the entrepreneur and industrialist David Brown acquired both Lagonda and Aston Martin." The next sentence skips ahead to an introduction in 1961. Were the two companies merged? Did one become a subsidiary of the other? Was there an asset purchase? Was a third corporation formed? There's a big gap here.

I'm a bit confused here. The text from The Lagonda brand was established in 1906 by the businessman Wilbur Gunn. The 1935 Le Mans 24 Hour race was won with a Lagonda M45R driven by John Stuart Hindmarsh and Luis Fontés. When the Lagonda Rapide V12 launched in 1939, it was the most expensive car in the United States. talks about Lagonda, and then In 1947, the entrepreneur and industrialist David Brown acquired both Lagonda and Aston Martin. discusses how David Brown acquired Lagonda, alongside another brand Aston Martin (which was before the acquisition, unrelated). In 1961, Lagonda introduced the Rapide, the company's earliest four-door automobile. Its production ended in 1966 after fifty-five units had been manufactured. is about the new four-door model by Lagonda, the Lagonda Rapide. In 1974, Aston Martin introduced its second four-door model, the Lagonda, which was produced until 1990, when 645 units had been made. is about the Aston Martin Lagonda. This model was unrelated to Lagonda, it just took the name from the brand. The Aston Martin Rapide was revealed in 2009 at the International Motor Show Germany. In the same year, Aston Martin chose to revive the Lagonda brand to explore various market segments and commemorate Lagonda's centenary. this part discusses how, decades after the company produced its last production car in 1966, they are reintroducing the brand.
