Lanchester Motor Company

Many of our Lanchester collections were given to us by Frederick Lanchester, they include hundreds of engineering drawings, component photographs and his notebook. All the items relate to the company's early work. The Company was also known as Lanchester Engine Company and Lanchester Brothers during the 1890s.
