Fourteen or Leda?
The Fourteen body was designed by Mulliner and built using traditional coachbuilding methods, with an innovative C-pillar cast in aluminium.
The Leda was developed for export with an all-steel body from the Pressed Steel company.
Confusingly, both models shared the same model designation of LJ200.
