Sorry for the long absence...
work took me away from home for many days, and the time available was used for family.
Last WE of May I went to the Ciney Retromoteur event in Belgium (big classic car event, with spares, automobilia and cars for sale.
I spotted a car with a nice "statue ", see above.
Can you recognize the car?

The car was a LEA-FRANCIS, not sure the lady was original, but it looked nice on the car.
The brand emblem is showing a Licorn.
I agree it was not easy at all, but that was part of the game :-) Here are some more photos :
Hmmm, not sure about this. Cadillac or Packard perhaps? But I'm not sure. Perhaps you could provide a clue...?
ReplyDeleteHello John,
ReplyDeletewell, it comes from a car brand from Coventry...
Now this is driving me crazy...so cars made in Coventry
ReplyDeleteJaguar: I don't think so; not even a very early one
Swallow: Err. no!
Hillman: No
Riley: I remember the logo but not a "flying lady"type ornament
Humber: possibly...?
Am I getting close?
MD, I agree, s many cars made in Coventry. I did not know this one either. You were getting close.
ReplyDeleteIt was a Lea Francis. Pictures will follow.
Of course, Lea-Francis. But I didn't know it off the top of my head and it would have taken quite a bit more digging to find it. Good choice!
