LEA-FRANCIS 12/14 HP

4-light saloon, fixed head coupè.

Good old 1939 theme with Riley-like twin-camshaft, high-pushrod engine. Few 12s made. Mechanical brakes to '51, hydraulics thereafter. Torsion bar is for 1950, headlamps recessed into front wings for 1951. Coupès made 1946-49 only. Tough cars backed by an excellent spares service.
