The Lanchester cantilever rear springs - semi-elliptic leaf type - were duplicated and the front cantilever suspension was reinforced by shock absorbers-coil springs in vertical tubes, the tops of which were attached to the upper part of the main body frame structure.
The turret and fighting compartment of the Lanchester were almost identical to the turreted Rolls-Royce, as were the rear platform and stowage boxes (although the latter do not appear to have been fitted to some of the earliest Lanchesters).
Thirty-six Lanchester armoured cars were completed by the end of March 1915 and were used to equip three squadrons of the R.N.A.S. All of these squadrons were in France by May and one of them later served with the Belgian Army.
