You know what men do when the midlife crisis all of a sudden appears. The grey suit makes place for Hawaï shirt and bermuda, the family MPV is replaced by a second hand Fatboy or Ferrari, while the faithful wife is exchanged for a young leaf, too. And, yes, they usually feel terribly sorry about all this after a while. So is there a remedy? There may be. Let us tip you off for one leaf in particular, and an attractive one, too, or so we think. This Lea-Francis - affectionately known as LeaF by fans of the make - 14hp Sports ticks all the boxes of desirability. Lea-Francis is of course best known for its pre war models, but the post war 14hp line is particularly noteworthy too - with the Sports model probably being the most desirable of these (we are guessing the estate version may remind too much of a people carrier). The car that’s been offered by Coys now is very well conserved. Just like a new love should be. So please do not turn it into a 14hp Special - if you like to do that to this young leaf, then you may just be better off with the obvious Fatboy. (photos courtesy Coys).
