By a curious coincidence in view of the fact that the previous thread is about Rattletrap, I was looking for information about Dornford Yates' 'Lowland' car and discovered this:
" I must admit I always thought it was a thinly disguised Leyland.
Googling has not so far shown up any Leyland sports cars in that
era, but Leyland could certainly build fast cars when they wanted
to:
Leyland has a long history dating from 1896, when the Sumner and
Spurrier families founded the Lancashire Steam Motor Company in
the town of Leyland in North West England."
