The Lea-Francis company was founded in 1895, in Coventry in the UK, under the aegis of R.H. Lea. It originally built cycles and motorcycles, but, by the 1920s, was established as a manufacturer of high quality sporting cars. From the 1930s to the 1960s, Lea-Francis specialised in medium-sized cars, built with great care and the best quality components. Successful in motorsports, "Leaf" was an innovative company, but a lack of regard for good business principles led to fluctuating fortunes throughout the company's long life.
In The Lea-Francis Story, Barrie Price draws on his lifelong association with Lea-Francis cars to tell the complete and fascinating story of the company.

Barrie Price has spent a lifetime working in the motor industry in his home county of Warwickshire. He was responsible for a Rolls-Royce/Bentley service operation for over 40 years, and then purchased the assets of Lea-Francis Cars Ltd in 1962. He was the proprietor until he sold the company in 2019.
He has been the President of the Lea-Francis Owners Club, co-founder and former Chairman of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley Specialist's Association, former Chairman of the Bugatti Owners Club, and co-founder and former Chairman of the Bugatti Trust. He has owned or driven practically every type of Bugatti.
Barrie's written work includes books on Bugatti, the history of Lea-Francis, and Rolls-Royce.
