1952 Lea-Francis 2.5 Litre Sports
UPDATED: Although registered as a 1952 car, research shows that it was built late in 1950, used as the show car for the 1950 London Motor Show, and then sold in March 1951 to Vaughn Singer Motor Cars in Hollywood, California. The original color was Electric Blue with Beige Leather interior. By the time the last owner acquired it, the color had been changed to red.
ORIGINAL POST: Here are some photographs of a 1952 Lea-Francis 2.5 Litre Sports. I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the photographs, the lighting conditions were less than ideal, and the space was limited. These should give a general idea of the car and more detailed photographs will follow.
This particular car was sold new in 1952 by Vaughan Singer Motors of Hollywood, California, it is, however, Right Hand Drive. It is understood to have had only three owners, the most recent owner acquired it in the early 1970's and repainted it from red to its current silver over black color scheme. The interior has been re-trimmed with vinyl seats.
This car will be offered for sale in the near future, if you are interested in having the opportunity to acquire this rare English sports car, or want more information, please post a comment below.
Only 85 2.5 Litre Sports were built by Lea-Francis between 1949 and 1953, and this is one of 40 known to the Lea Francis Owners' Club. For more information about the Lea-Francis 2.5 Litre Sports, please visit the Lea-Francis Owners' Club website: www.lfoc.org.
