SUMMARY
Post-war four-door six-light 1,287cc Lanchester LD10 in need of cosmetic TLC, could be a perfect running winter project. To be offered with No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- Had WWII not intervened, Lanchester would have launched the LD10 in 1940. In the event, it was postponed until 1946 producing a little over 3,100 LD10s in the five years of production
- Registered in 1947, this LD10 was apparently subject to a full restoration in the early 2000s, although it would now benefit from some cosmetic TLC offering, the perfect running winter project for its new owner
- Powered by a 1,287cc four-cylinder overhead-valve engine coupled to the marque's traditional fluid flywheel and Wilson pre-selector gearbox
- Finished in navy blue over a blue leather interior which is in need of some care, though will be refitted with carpets prior to sale
- Supplied with numerous invoices from previous keepers, along with photographic evidence of its restoration and old correspondence between owners
