AI Listing Summary
This is a 1946 Lea-Francis 14hp Special, a unique, vendor-built occasional four-seater. It features a 1761cc twin-cam engine and four-speed gearbox to original spec. Offered from 20-year storage, the car requires recommissioning and is estimated to sell between £8,000 - £10,000 at auction on October 15th.

The car has been in storage for 20 years and requires recommissioning, with an unknown mechanical condition. The body was rebuilt by the vendor from remains found in a field.
