Day-Leeds's ambitious first cyclecar placed its transverse V-twin in a tubular front frame and used direct steering, half-elliptic springs and detachable wire wheels with 650 x 65 tires. Two photographed configurations are development variants rather than submodels. The catalog preserves its period listing while explicitly avoiding a claim of meaningful series output.

This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.

Research notes

A prototype and possibly a very small number existed; the model never entered serious production.
