why damn? you are right with Lea-Francis! |

Yes, but I should have checked the rest of the site, shouldn't I? Trouble is, if I do that someone else beats me to the answer ... and I'm old enough to have seen Leafs like this running around! |

on this page we see the same vehicle, but the vehicle details they are from another car? with number plate UW 8470 so i think you are right with M-Typ? |

If the other one's a P-type, I think this one is too, whether or not they're the same car. YW 6258 isn't known to the DVLA btw. |

It is, but clever as they are they wrote it 'Leafrancis' ... It is a P-Type first registered on June 7th, 1928 with an engine capacity of 1465 cc (which is close enough to the original 1496 cc). Here is a picture: http://www.britishmm.co.uk/history.asp?id=546 |

... and failed to put it in their drop-down menu. Still, what do you expect? The DVLA is a Government department |

YW 6258 is a blue 1928 P type Lea-Francis which at the time would have been owned by the late Cameron Millar DVLA has all sorts of errors in the makers' names and Lea-Francis appears as "Lea Francis", "Leafrancis" and "LeaFrancis" as well as correctly. |
