Leda
By the end of 1969, Len Terry was one of the superstar designers of the age. With the Lotus 38 Indy car, 1966 F1 Eagle, the BRM P126, the Kincraft Formula Libre, various Mirage sports cars and the F5000 Surtees TS5 on his CV, the Leda LT20 could have been exected to be the car to buy in 1970. Curiously, it was a dog.
The LT27 is not included here although purists might argue that it should. It is covered under McRae GM1.
All and any help would be gratefully received. Please e-mail Allen at allen@oldracingcars.com if you can add anything.
