English: Lanchester 32 h.p. 4½ litre straight-eight. Lanchester was a British car company that built automobiles from 1895-1955, although it was sold to Daimler in 1931. The Lanchesters until 1930 were of a quality to compete with Rolls Royce. After 1930 they were lower priced Daimlers. But some customers wanted their Daimler branded Lanchester.
