Lanchester La11 Sports

Post by sp250boy »

Gentlemen,
After Wilma (Lanchester LA11 1939 is completed I am going to start on the next project. A Lanchester LA11 Sports similar to:
s-l16005.jpg
I already have the chassis, steering box, wheels, bonnet, gearbox, radiator etc.

My question is what Lanchester engine would be the best from a power output and reliability?.
There is a guy selling a LA10 engine in France but guess that would be the lower range of power. Just looking for some advice on what engine to look out for, and it does have to be a Lanchester engine.

Any advice gratefully rec'd
It is a Lanchester

Cheers Al😊😊
