L Gardner and Sons Ltd was originally established as a sewing machine manufacturer in 1868 in Manchester. However, in the 1920’s it turned its attention to improving the design of diesel engines. And it did so with some success, as it developed the ‘LW’ series of engines during the 1920’s and 30’s which saw service in the luxury car makers of the day like Rolls-Royce and Lagonda’s.

Following the end of WWII the 'LW' series remained popular and was made in large numbers primarily for busses and commercial vehicles. The ‘LW’ range was joined by the more modern ‘LX’ range. In the mid 1960’s, the LW series of engines were modernised and updated so that they could develop 20 bhp per cylinder. It was consequently renamed the LW20. In 1967, the six-cylinder LX engine was redeveloped to produce 180 bhp from the previous 150 bhp and the eight cylinder LX was pronounced as the “smoothest running automotive diesel ever made”. Gardner also manufactured larger diesel engines for use on railway locomotives, and larger yachts.

In 1977 Gardner’s was bought by Hawker Siddeley, and it changed hands again in 1986 when it was purchased by Perkins Engines who had a range of lighter diesel engines complementing Gardner’s own. However, the new 1990’s emissions regulations spelt the end of production of Gardner engines when the last one’s rolled off the production line.
