LEA-FRANCIS 2.5-LITRE SPORTS
The design of the Lea-Francis 2.5-Litre Sports car incorporates knowledge gained in competitive motoring events over the years with notable success and it is in every way a very desirable vehicle for the less staid driver.
Seating is provided for a maximum of four persons, but for two-seater use the rear section can be neatly covered over, as shown in the photograph reproduced below.
The rigid three-piece windscreen is a good feature of this model and the latest version has winding windows of Perspex in place of side curtains.
