Leidart

The Leidart was an automobile manufactured by Leidart Cars Ltd in Pontefact, Yorkshire between 1936 and 1938.[1] The name was a combination of the cars creators, Leith and Huddart,[1] and was typical of the Anglo-American hybrids that were being manufactured in the United Kingdom at this time.[1] The Leidart used a Ford V8 engine in an English chassis, with a combination of 2-seater and 4-seater open bodies.[1]

Production was minimal, and may have only been the prototype, which featured extensively in press announcements of the time.[1]
