| Lea
Francis Cars Ltd Coventry Produce 300 (planned) per year GM 3.2 engine £40,000 (est) Notes: Lea-Francis first started as a cycle manufacturer and didn't build its first motor-car until 1904, followed by a break until 1920. For most of the 20s/30s Lea-Francis concentrated on building small, sporting models, either open or closed saloons. Production resumed after WW2 (Lea-Francis had disappeared from 1935 and briefly resumed production in 1938) of updated versions of its 1938 range, consisting of the 12HP and 14HP. From 1947 various sports models appeared including the 14HP and 2.5 Litre Sports. Production of Lea-Francis cars ceased in 1960, although
since then there have been various attempts to revive the
name, with "retro" inspired sports models appearing
on Motor Show stands. |

Tommy Kaira
Designed by 2 Japanese ex-racing drivers, the Tommy Kaira ZZ is assembled in the UK for better sourcing for components. Mainly sold in Japan. The welded aluminium space frame chassis is covered by a glass fibre body, to give a kerb weight of 730 kg. The engine is from Nissan Primera - 2 litres, 16 valves four-cylinder, now fed by racing motorbike's carburetors instead of fuel injection. A bit of history about the car & company can be found here |
