LA10 leather roof

Post by Culbu »

Hello,

As you, I live in a very rainy place (Normandie in France, just in front of Portsmouth) and after a run with my 1933 LA10 Lanchester, I just wondered to myself if the leather roof of my car was supposed to be watertight... ! Because if it's the case, I have an important work to do on it !!! And the sunroof that fits my Mulliner body constitutes probably an aggravating factor...

Thanks.

Julian

Hi, Julian, yes it is supposed to be watertight , I recovered the Roof on my Lanchester over 26 years ago, and its never leaked .!
It’s not too bad a job, but you will need to remove the old covering very carefully, and the separate the sections to use as patterns etc.
If you do decide to do it , then drop me a line, and I will attempt to give you some further instructions.

Best wishes A’l. :D
