Every worth while improvement known to motering-is built into this brilliant- Lanchester; to give you safer, smoother, speedier riding. The most scandalous pot- "holes are glossed over by its independent front wheel springing. Curves cambered the wrong way are rounded without sway or slide thanks to a low centre of gravity and anti-roll control. Other traffic is left far behind after a hold-up-for this Lanchester has a high power-weight ratio. And its Daimler fluid flywheel trans- mission makes slow driving jerk-proof, and gear-changing fool-proof. We have one of these Lanchesters to show you. Examine it carefully. Test it thoroughly. Not only for its perfomance, but also for its superb workmanship and finish.
