Based in Queens Park, West London between 1921 and 1948 and originally known as Gaisford and Warboys, the Lancefield Coachworks Ltd was a builder of bespoke car bodies.

Their speciality was introducing sporting elements into what was considered to be ground breaking designs.

The company name was derived from the companies early site of Lancefield Street.

During World War II the coachbuilders switched their business to building aircraft components and it was to this industry they returned in 1948.

This Rolls-Royce presents extremely well in black and grey paintwork with grey leather to the front and fawn Bedford cord to the rear.
