This Lanchester, belonging to the RACD-RNAS (*), was captured by the Germans in Galicia (Austria) during the failed Kerensky Offensive in the summer of 1917.

In the turret has the characteristic protective shielded of the machine gun in the form of "ladder", that they used British armoured cars in Russia. It also carries a discrete Russian "Cockades" as vehicle identification.

For replenish the losses in the aforementioned offensive and the subsequent German counter-offensive, the Russians ceded to the British eight Fiat-Izhorsky Armoured Cars.

Note the type of "jack" that the Germans are used to change the damaged rear wheels.

Para reponer las pérdidas sufridas en la citada ofensiva y en la subsiguiente contra-ofensiva alemana, los rusos cedieron a los británicos ocho Coches Blindados Fiat-Izhorsky. 

Obsérvese el tipo de "gato" que están utilizado los alemanes para cambiar las ruedas traseras dañadas.
