Lanchester Car. We wish to dispose of the Lanchester car as we have no further use for it. Before the car is saleable it either ought to go to Lanchesters, or their Service Depot, to have the gearbox adjusted. At the present time the top gear is slipping badly. We would like to know whether we shall get this work carried out, or whether you would prefer to get is done at the Lanchester London Service Depot. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
