Leyland

GB, 1920 – 1923

Leyland Motors Ltd, Leyland, Lancs.

The Leyland car was one of several instances in Britain of a manufacturer of commercial verhicles venturing into the luxury-car market just after World War 1. The 40hp Leyland Eight of 1920 was designed by J.G. Parry Thomas. The engine of the Leyland car had 8 cylinders in line, totalling 7.3-litres, and there was a single overhead camshaft. When the Leyland car appeared at the Olympia show in 1920, it caused a sensation on several grounds. The Leyland car was the most expensive British car on the market, costing £3.050 complete, and the Leyland car was also the most powerful, with 115hp at 2.500rpm available with a single carburetor and 145bhp with two. Only 18 of these great Leyland cars were made. After he left Leyland cars, Parry Thomas developed the Leyland Eight for racing purposes. Two Leyland-Thomases, their engines now delivering 200bhp, were built. In 1929 another Leyland car was assembled from parts, and still exists today.
