This is a 1951 car, built by Lea Francis from Warwickshire. Its the 4 door all-aluminium body saloon, with the original 1800cc twin cam engine - which was well advanced for its time. Its very rare now, although there is a thriving owners club. Lea Francis closed their doors in 1962, but the company was renowned for building innovative luxury cars.
It drives beautifully, and although not required by law, it has an MOT until March 2022.
Being aluminium the body is completely rust free, but it does have some aluminium corrosion in places which is cosmetic. You'll see it on the pictures. It completely sound underneath, it passed its MOT with no advisories and has clearly been well looked after in its 70 years.
Its far from being concours, or a show car, but won't be put to shame at club meets or events. For a fine-driving, mechanically excellent car of this era with current MOT its a fantastic start to classic car ownership.
