Guy in the unit next door to me was asked to clear a lock up garage, he has collected a transit van full of old wheels, axles, heads etc & was going to scrap it all, will try & get some more pictures of the rest, may be of use to someone if we can find out what its all for.

Chrome rad shell looks like Lanchester, ie:

The wheel looks like a match also.

Hi
Here is a bit of info about Cheylesmore.
Quote:
The Quinton Road and Mile Lane areas of Cheylesmore have been occupied by several companies that contributed to Coventry's motoring heritage, including Rolls Royce, Armstrong Siddeley, Coventry Climax, and the Swift Motor Company. The suburb's proximity to large manufacturing firms resulted in a rapid expansion of the area during the 1930s with planners finding it difficult to get houses constructed in time to meet the demand for them. The advantage of the short distance between the factories and houses was that workers were able to walk to the factories, saving them the bus fare. They were also able to go home for a meal at midday before returning to work.

The former Quinton Works, originally built in 1890 as a cycle factory, situated at the junction of Mile Lane and Quinton Road was acquired by the Swift Motor Company in 1905. During World War I the factory contributed to the war-effort, producing munitions, military bicycles, Hispano-Suiza and Renault aircraft engines.


Maybe some of those company names will prompt further ideas.
