Leidart

Last updated

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]
