Stately old bomber: Richard Woolmer loves his Coventry-built Lancaster.

Richard Woolmer, a classic car restorer, owns a 1950-51 Armstrong Siddeley Lancaster, which he acquired from a friend. The car is in its original condition with a few modifications, such as headlamp black-outs to give it a World War Two vibe. Woolmer plans to fit new, wider banded rims and upgrade the carburetor for better performance. The interior is untouched, and the car is reliable except for a failed ignition coil. Woolmer aims to maintain the car's original look and preserve its history. [Extracted from the article]
