caption_attribution_description: English: Lanchester LA10 6-light saloon [BRW 813] Daimler &amp; Lanchester Owners Club, International Rally, Queen's Birthday weekend, Sandringham, Norfolk Sunday 12 June 2011 (DVLA) 1303cc, reg 3 April 1936
context_page_description: The Lanchester Ten and Lanchester Eleven were sold by The Lanchester Motor Company Limited from the Ten's announcement in September 1932 until 1951. Quite different from previous Lanchesters, the Ten was the second of Lanchester's new owner's new Daimler-linked Lanchester range. The names Ten and Eleven referred to the engine's rating for the annual tax and did not relate to the engine's power output.
  Part of the thinking behind BSA's acquisition of Lanchester was, in consideration of the international economic depression, to extend the BSA group's range of cars into the sectors between those filled by Daimler and the three-wheeled 'cars' of BSA Cars without affecting Daimler's super-luxury image.
  Ultimately the smallest Lanchester became far too expensive for the size of car it was, few were sold and production ended in 1951.
