1953 LEA-FRANCIS 14HP 4-LIGHT SALOON
Registration Number: KCJ 853
Chassis Number: 9964
Recorded Mileage: TBA
A late chassis in the production run, this 14hp 4-light saloon was first registered in May 1953 via London agent Charles Follett Limited. The Lea-Francis was acquired by our vendor in the very early 1970s, purchasing the LeaF as his first (of many) classic cars. Upon purchase our vendor restored the 14hp extensively and used it as his only transport for several years. A few years ago the 14hp was sold to a friend and fellow enthusiast, only to be brought back to the family more recently.
In the last five years or so the Lea Francis has been refinished in its original shade of burgundy red, and presents very nicely. The original leather trim in dark tan is in good order generally with the odd localised repair here and there. A rare sight on British roads, this charming sporting saloon is said to perform well on the road, and is ready to be used and enjoyed once more.
This motor vehicle will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees in Frome, Somerset, on Saturday 11th March 2023. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
