1950 Lea Francis Aluminium Bodied Special

Lea Francis Aluminium Bodied Special

1950 Lea Francis Tourer finished in dark red with tan leather interior and exposed aluminium dashboard. Cream wire wheels. This Lea Francis features a 1760cc, inline four engine mated to a four speed manual gearbox. The lightweight aluminium body was stunningly handcrafted using a wooden buck. This was a time-consuming process where the skilled metalworker spent hundreds of hours forming each contour. The result is a beautiful, one off Lea Francis where attention to detail has not been missed out. The coach builder is well known for his superb work. The engine is original and has been fully rebuilt. It is well balanced and responsive, making it perfect for leisurely drives or touring. The interior has been fully restored to a professional standard. All the leather has been retrimmed and new carpets have been fitted. The Smiths dials look lovely against the exposed aluminium dashboard. This Lea Francis features a black softtop which is like new and is easy to operate. 

The history files includes various invoices, wiring diagrams, Lea Francis instruction book and spare keys. Other paperwork includes current V5, specification sheets and more. This is a very pretty looking car indeed, in a wonderful colour combination. It is in excellent condition throughout. This Lea Francis has just passed a MOT with no advisories. For sale at a fraction of the build cost.
