LANCHESTER LIGHT SIX

Saloon, sports saloon, streamline saloon, fixed-head coupé, drophead coupé.

We've already encountered this one with a different radiator as the BSA Light Six. Everything else is the same - four mains, pump cooling, fixed cylinder head, four speeds, mechanical brakes and worm final drive. '35 bodies shared with Ten, but '36 de luxe line uses the Daimler 15's coachwork and comes out even heavier. If engine maintenance worries you, a Ten unit will fit.
