About this car

Lea-Francis was one of Britain's smaller post-war makers, and the 14HP Light Saloon is a seldom-seen example of its output. This one was first registered in January 1949, so it sits at the start of the company's post-war run.

It spent 40 years with a single previous keeper, which is a long stretch for any classic. The car has had an older restoration and is described as remaining in very good order. It is now exempt from both road tax and MOT.

A collection of old MOT certificates comes with it, documenting part of its history.
