We are delighted to offer again this strikingly beautiful 1948 Lea Francis 14HP Sports, one of a mere 137 made of which approximately 40 survive.

A ‘Touring’ model, the ‘T’ dates from 1917 which was the first year that the Model T was fitted with the black painted radiator cowl and the curved bonnet, known as the ‘Low Hood’.
