Another Allan L offering: Solved! Lea-Francis 30/230

[Allan L]

Here is a model of a car presented at the Birmingham Motor Show a few years ago by the inheritor of a famous name in English cycle, morotcycle and car manufacture, that company having been formed first in 1895.
Make, model designation and power unit if you can!

I remember the car, but now I'm struggling to remember the make. Could it have been Lea Francis?

Yes it could!
Model and power unit then?

30/230

Correct!
Now, what engine did it have?]

[D-type]

Ford Zephyr engine - or was that the LF Lynx?

That was the Lynx - 40-odd years earlier

30/230

By way of a clue, those numbers indicate engine capacity (but it's decilitres, so it was a three-litre (183 cu. in. I suppose in the USofA?) motor) and alleged horsepower.
Any guess now which engine it was?

[GRAYWOLF]

GM 3.2 engine

[Allan L]

GM 3.2 engine

I think that's near enough!
It was a GM (Vauxhall/Opel) 3 litre V6.

Like I said, near enough.
Interesting site, including a list of good drivers' roads one of which starts three miles from me and I can vouch for its quality.

Thanks for those!
The second photo is one we have on the LFOC website but can I ask where the other two come from (no links on here but a PM is different!).
