Our first car was a 1933 Lanchester 10, u.k.registration no. TJ 893. We bought it about 1959 for £40, ran it for about two years and sold it for £20. I hand painted it black and ivory with "Valspar" enamel. The car had many modern features like a pre-selector gearbox with a fluid flywheel coupling, hyraulic brakes,an overhead valve engine with cast aluminium alloy sump and rocker box cover. My wife and I have many happy memories of the car and we wish that we still had it to-day!.
We were just watching an episode of Agatha Christie's "Poirot" entitled "The Mystery of Hunters Lodge" when we spotted a similar model in a couple of shots..................Wonderfull!!.

Southworthdt5,

I do not believe it!!!!!!!!!!!! TJ893 was my late father's first car, bought in 1956. I imagine that when you bought it, the chassis plate was missing, as to this day it sits in my office!

Engine c.c. for this car should read 1,203c.c., the 1,287 being the post-war Lanchester ten engine.

daimlere20 I have just read your posts from March this year. I probably bought TJ 893 from your father. I was living near Warrington at the time and went out to somewhere on the Cheshire side to collect it. I have tried without success to add a photograph but if you e mail me on p.atherton2@btinternet.com I will attach one to my reply.

Thank you antp for your help in adding a photo to my comment. I think I have followed your instruction and my print appears to have been taken into store. I have typed the code that appeared at the start of this comment.....fingers crossed the photo will reappear ! p.s. TJ 893 was first registered in March 1933 and I was born in August of that year.
I hand painted the car with "Valspar" enamel......Black and Ivory. The seats were done with Red leather paint.
The fuel pump was converted I think, it was an SU electric pump mounted on the scuttle near the battery box.
We did one or two trips from Culcheth, Lancs ( now Cheshire ) to Portland in Dorset before the motorways were there.
Happy days.....We sold her for £20 to some boys at work and before long a conrod broke and came through the crankcase. (known as a leg out of bed ). What a sad end. We moved on to AGE 804, a 1937 Armstrong Siddley 14, but that's another story.
