Lanchester Fourteen, Leda

Daimler replaced the Lanchester Ten (1946-51) with an all new Lanchester Fourteen in 1950. It was given a new 1968cc ohv four cylinder engine that would later be expanded as a 6-cylinder engine for the Daimler Conquest and later Regency models. The body was also new, designed by Barkers and initialled panelled steel over wooden frames, but from 1952 it was all steel. From 1952 it was sold as the 'Leda' in export markets. Only 2100 were sold. In 1953 the Lanchester Fourteen body was plagiarised for the Daimler Conquest and Lanchester came to the end of the line.
