Startpreis CHF 34'000.-

The 1951 Lea-Francis 14HP Estate, known for its distinctive woody design, presents a unique blend of classic charm and functionality. This rare version, painted in a rich dark red with wood accents, stands out both for its historical significance and its well-preserved condition. With only 39,680 kilometers on the odometer, the mileage is not fully documented but is supported by maintenance booklets, albeit with some gaps. This car was originally delivered new in the UK and has been registered as an 'oldtimer,' showcasing its veteran status. The vehicle has had a few owners over the years, and while historical documents are available, they are incomplete. In terms of condition, the Lea-Francis is in excellent shape. The engine, recently rebuilt in April 2023, runs smoothly and sounds robust. The car shows no signs of rust or accidents, and the recent maintenance conducted in April 2023 ensures its reliability. The body and paint, though featuring an older repaint, remain in very good condition with a beautiful patina that highlights its vintage appeal. Inside, the interior is well-preserved with a patina that adds character. The carpets are in good condition, and while there is no air conditioning or modern amenities, the heating and other features are in working order. The car retains its original rims, with a tread depth of 8mm on the tires. This Lea-Francis 14HP Estate is a classic example of mid-20th-century British engineering, combining elegance with practicality. It is a rare find for enthusiasts and collectors, offering both a snapshot of automotive history and a drive that's as enjoyable as it is distinctive.
