1929 Lea Francis

I took this photograph at a classic car show organised by car dealers Gordon Ford of Stockport in July 1987.

It’s a 1929 Lea Francis with what the DVLA record says is a 1,479cc engine. A search of Lea Francis models doesn’t show any with that size engine, so it’s probably a Lea Francis 12 which had a 1,496cc engine. There's a Lea-Francis Owners' Club for owners and enthusiasts.

1930 Lea Francis Hyper Sports

This car took part in two races, including the 2 hours long VSCC Team Relay Race for Pre-war Sports Cars, at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2011.

It's the 1930 Lea Francis Hyper Sports of Charles Cook, which is also known as the S-Type and has a 1,496cc supercharged 4-cylinder Meadows engine. There's a Lea Francis Owners Club for enthusiasts and owners of these cars.
