Yes, it is a 10 hp, but there were several distinguished by its type designation. So I am looking for Lea-Francis 10 hp Type ...

I know there are internet sites calling this one a Type J, but going by the engine size, it is a different type.

As far as I can tell, Lea-Francis sold four models in 1926 with the Meadows 4EB engine, the D, E, G and K, all of which looked pretty much identical. The radiator of the K-type was slightly wider by about 3 inches. So I would guess a K.

I don't have to, as it has always been known as a K type in the Lea-Francis Owners' Club - and I do mean always, as it was in the ownership of Gerald Brown, who was Assistant Secretary of the Club when it was founded in 1953. 8)
