1951 LEA-FRANCIS 14hp ESTATE

Registration No:JWF 967

Chassis No:9178

MOT:Exempt

Rare and desirable woody estate vehicle by A P Morris of Stoke Row, Coventry

Said to be good, very good or excellent overall

Interior trim in mellowed brown leather

Estate versions of Lea-Francis's 14hp model were manufactured by a number of coachbuilders between 1946 and 1953, and it was in 1951 that this handsome example vacated the company's Much Park Street production facility bound for A P Morris of Stoke Road Coventry where its attractive 'woody' bodywork was constructed. Only 20 of the 400 woodies made are now known to the Lea Francis Owners' Club, making 'JWF 967' a rare car by any standards. Its varnished wood panelling is complemented by Silver coachwork, a Black Everflex roof and Brown leather interior trim. Very evidently the subject of a thorough restoration at some stage, it is presently considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' four-cylinder engine and four-speed transmission and 'very good' bodywork, paintwork and upholstery. The current keeper acquired the 'Leaf' in 2013, prior to which there had only been one previous owner. A unique opportunity to acquire a practical classic of real character

1947 LEA-FRANCIS 14hp DROPHEAD COUPE

Registration No:EDB 429

Chassis No:2188

MOT:Exempt

- Ultra-rare Angel of Manchester wooden body tourer

- Said to have been used by Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas and admired by John Lennon

- Described as very good or excellent overall

This striking, ultra-rare Lea-Francis was created on a 14hp chassis by Angel Motors of Manchester. It features a mix of Cream-coloured aluminium and varnished plywood bodywork, and Red leather interior trim and hood. The Leaf's history is as unique and captivating as the car itself, as in its early days it belonged to the father of Mike Maxfield, the onetime lead guitarist of the '60s pop group Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas. Sharing the same manager as the immortal Beatles, Brian Epstein, the Dakotas were often featured on the same bill as the 'fab four' and the Leaf was frequently used to transport them to gigs. Apparently one day it attracted considerable attention from John Lennon, who declared he 'would like to own a car like that'. Displaying a low but unwarranted 23,000 miles, 'EDB 429' is presently considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim and transmission, and 'very good' engine.
