How ‘bout this 1952 Lea Francis Sports Roadster.
Lea-Francis began business in 1895 by building bicycles.
It branched out into car manufacturing in 1903, motorcycles in 1911 and built cars under licence for the Singer company. In 1919, they started to build their own cars.
A total of nearly 10000 Lea-Francis vehicles were made until the company finally closed in 1962.

Perfect combination?
This Model T body has been mated to a Model A and finished off in a handsome matt black. We like it a lot.

What’s been at the workshop lately?
How ‘bout this 1968 Triumph Vitesse Mark 2.
The Mark 2 was the final update to the Michelotti styled Vitesse range.
This was the ultimate Vitesse.
A saloon or convertible with performance easily superior to an MGB or Sunbeam Alpine sports car, but with four proper seats and a large boot.
That performance came from the presence of a smooth six-cylinder in-line engine, tweaked to provide 104 bhp and capable of a top speed easily in excess of 100 mph (160kph).
It also came with overdrive.
From 1968 – 1971 only 3472 convertible Mark 2’s were built.

What’s been at the workshop lately?
How ‘bout this 1965 Pontiac Tempest Le Mans GTO Hardtop.
In 1961 the Pontiac Lemans started out as a trim upgrade for the Tempest.
Then in 1963, for 1 year only, the LeMans was designed as a separate model in the Pontiac compact car lineup of 2-door coupes and convertibles.
Next, in 1964, the Tempest line changed to an intermediate-size car on the new GM A platform.
The LeMans was still its own separate model and a 2-door hard top was added.
Shortly after the start of the 1964 model year the LeMans became available with the GTO performance package – included a 389 cu in (6.4L) V8 from the full-sized Pontiac line.
Come 1965 the Pontiac’s A-body line up included the Tempest (model), the Tempest Custom, the Lemans (trim package) and the GTO (performance package) and the entire line was restyled.
Then in 1966 the GTO became a separate model of its own, although it the same basic body as the Tempest and LeMans models.

How ‘bout this 1951 BSA B31.
The BSA B31, introduced in 1945, was the first new model introduced by the company after the Second World War.
Based on pre-war designs, it used a single cylinder, overhead valve, four stroke engine that displaced 348 cc (21.2 cu in).
It developed about 17 bhp (13 kW), enough to deliver a top speed of around 70 mph (110 km/h).
The B series expanded through its life to include the famous BSA Gold Stars.

What’s been at the workshop lately?
How ‘bout this 1930 Ariel 600 Sloper.
The Sloper was produced in the early-1930s as part of the ‘Ariel’ range.
It’s design has its origins in BSA’s Model S which caused a sensation in 1927 when it was launched into a world of traditional ‘flat-tank’ motorcycles.
With a shapely saddle tank, fashionable sloping engine and low seat height, its looks began a trend which would last well into the 1930s.
The new Model S, nicknamed the ‘Sloper’, set a new trend in design and manufacturers such as Ariel and Triumph rushed to follow.
Ariel Motorcycles was sold to BSA in 1951 but the brand survived until 1967.
