Lant RT2 tracing history of car - Page 2

Hmmm - not really, Allen. There are only six in the chassis book, including mine that was not even built at the factory, so I think we can safely say that that's how many 'real' RT2s here are. Now establishing each one's history and current ownership and location has been a process of elimination but I think there are enough checks and balances in this case to be reasonably certain.

I see I spelled Mel Lahner's name incorrectly above - sorry about that.

Cheers - Derek

I did manage to look at one of the remaining Lants here in S.A.There are no numbers in the area of the front bulkhead as shown in the picture above.The gearbox casing (local casting) is marked 'Lant 003' where a Hewland FT200 would normally have its number stamped.
