No, probably a one-off by a manufacturer well known in its field of activity.

Yes to your conclusion that we are not looking for a car manufacturer. No to Coventry-Climax.

Like Coventry Climax, Lansing Bagnall was a fork-lift-truck maker of repute.
Not far from their Basingstoke HQ they had a country house, Elvetham Hall, as a residential management training establishment which, some 35 years ago, our company leased for staff accommodation during the Farnborough Airshow.
